4 Background The Health and Social Care Professionals Act, 2005 (as amended) (HSCP Act, 2005) provides for the establishment of a Social Workers Registration Board, whose functions include establishing and maintaining a Social Workers Register. Registration will allow a person to use the title Social Worker. The object of the Social Workers Registration Board is to protect the public by fostering high standards of professional conduct and professional education, training and competence among social work registrants (HSCP Act, 2005: Section 27(1)). Statutory registration is fundamental to the delivery of quality and accountability in the provision of social work and will ensure that members of the public are guided, protected and informed, so that they can be confident that social workers providing services are properly regulated and qualified for the job. This system of statutory regulation is designed to ensure professional conduct and the maintenance of high standards of professional education and training among social workers, regardless of whether they work in the public or private sector or are selfemployed. All applicants who hold professional qualifications gained outside the Republic of Ireland (ROI) must first have their qualification recognised by the Social Workers Registration Board before an application for registration can be made. Standards of proficiency and Irish approved qualifications One of the functions of the Social Workers Registration Board is to set the standards of proficiency for social workers. The standards of proficiency are the threshold standards required for the safe and appropriate practice of the profession in Ireland. They are the knowledge, skills, competencies and professional attributes for the safe practising of the profession. The standards of proficiency are the standards required for all entrants to the register. Irish approved qualifications for entry to the register are at the following level: Social Work (Honours) Bachelors Degree NFQ Level 8 Undergraduate programmes combine an academic social science degree with social work training. They are full-time courses of four years duration. Social Work Masters Degree NFQ Level 9 Social Work Postgraduate Diploma NFQ Level 9 Entry to postgraduate professional courses requires a three-year social science degree or equivalent and relevant work experience.

They are the minimum standards necessary to protect the public and are required for entry to the Register for Social Workers. They are also the standards of proficiency required of applicants with professional qualifications obtained outside ROI. All applications for recognition of professional qualification (s) obtained outside of the ROI will be assessed against these standards of proficiency. Applicants must demonstrate to the Registration Board that their professional qualification(s), additional education and training and / or work experience gained in the profession meets the minimum standards of proficiency required.
