Canadian Association of Social Workers
The Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) is the national association for the social work profession in Canada.[1][2] It was founded in 1926[3] to establish standards of practice for social workers.[4] It has individual members, and 10 provincial and territorial partner organizations.
It is a member of the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW), and evaluates the credentials of foreign-trained social workers.[5] It makes policies and offers advice, decides ethics,[6][7] and provides services to social workers.[8][9][10]
The CASW's Code of Ethics, last updated in 2005, together with its Guidelines for Ethical Practice, serve as the benchmark for ethical social work practice in Canada.[11]
