Our Objectives
In pursuit of professional advancement for social workers, the Academy seeks to develop:
The visual identity of the Hong Kong Academy of Social Work is a holistic yet powerful expression of a learning community that strives for professional competence. This distinctive identity is articulated by three symbolic human figures with an open arm embracing each other. They represent three parties involving social workers, agencies and academia, which are truly committed in creating a platform for updating, upgrading and specialisation of practice in social work services.
To promote high professional standards and best practice, the Academy proposed a social worker credentialing system with three professional advancement levels. The Course Accreditation System is established to give accreditation to courses that meet the requirements of social work CPD training. Both Social Worker Credentialing and Course Accreditation are open for application on July 12, 2020.
We endeavor to develop a local Professional Competence Framework (PCF) for Hong Kong Social Workers. After completing the local research on development of the General PCF Framework and the Specific Framework for School Social Work Service, we shall move on to develop the Specific Framework for Child and Family Service.
Funder: Keswick Foundation
The Hong Kong Social Workers Association received a grant from the Keswick Foundation to create a continuing professional development system for social workers leading to the best practice competence model. The project expects to develop a professional competence framework (PCF) and further a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) system to accredit and monitor programmes leading to social workers’ professional credentials as well as a registry for credentialed social workers.
