What if the job falls within the scope of social work practice, but the employee is not working with the public?
If the position:
- is in management, research or policy development, in areas completely unrelated to issues in the scope of social work practice,
- does not require supervising social workers, or
- does not involve teaching social work,
- the employee may not have to be a registered social worker.
