Child Protection - AASW - Australian Association of Social Workers / Credentials

Child Protection Credential

Child Protection is a complex and changing environment. Providing specific development and training in child protection has a positive impact on the children and families needing to access child protection.

The AASW identified a clear need for a credential to enable Child Protection workers to continue their learning beyond their degree in social work into more specialised skills.
