The Public Consultation Process
Background
The draft bye-law sets out the requirements that will apply to a person seeking to join or be restored to the Register after a break of two or more years.
If a person is returning to the practice of their profession after a certain period of time, there is a requirement on them, in accordance with their Professional Code of Conduct and Ethics to ensure that their knowledge, skills and performance are of a high quality, are up to date and are relevant to their practice.
The Social Workers Registration Board also specifies minimum requirements for updating of knowledge and skills for a person to join or be restored to the Register
