Dear Ms Maclennan

 

I am contacting you to clarify a question that you had in your Official
Information Act request dated 24 November 2016.

 

o In question 2 you asked- When a social worker is not registered, are
they are restricted?

 

Are you asking about Child, Youth and Family social workers. Ministry of
Social Development social workers, or both?

 

Thank you

Dear Ms McLennan

On 24 November 2016 you emailed the Ministry requesting, under the
Official Information Act 1982, the following information:

·         How many current practising Social Workers at Child Youth and
Family Services are registered with the Social Work Registration Board?

 

·         How many are registered and how many are not. This can be
provided in percentage terms also.

 

·         I would also like to request the information as to when a social
worker is not registered whether they are restricted in the work they are
able to conduct as opposed to a registered social worker.

 

 

The Ministry has decided to grant your request. However, it will take some
time to prepare the information for release. The information will be sent
to you by 13 January 2017.

 

 

If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact
