Register and Registrar - Register of Social Workers

135: Board to publish Register

You could also call this:

"The Board must make a list of social workers available to the public."

Illustration for Social Workers Registration Act 2003

The Board has to publish a list of social workers, called the Register, from time to time. You can find the Register in different forms, like printed or electronic. When the Board publishes the Register, it must not include the home addresses or electronic addresses of social workers.

The Board can shorten some of the information in the Register, as long as it explains what the shortcuts mean or they are easy to understand. The Board can decide how it wants to publish the Register, and it can use printed or electronic forms.

The way the Board publishes the Register does not change its main job of making the list of social workers available.
