Branchburg, NJ – Using Technology in SW Practice

Course Description

Modern technology influences almost every aspect of how we live, socialize, play, shop, communicate and work. As social workers, most of us utilize electronic technology for service delivery, communication, and the maintenance, storage and retrieval of client's sensitive data. Although the field of social work was introduced to digital technology many years ago, the laws and ethical guidelines governing its use are struggling to catch up. In this workshop, essential technology-related state and federal laws, regulatory standards and the NASW Code of Ethics will be examined. The fundamental social work standards of informed consent, privacy and confidentiality, practitioner competence, and conflicts of interest will be highlighted.
