New Code of Ethics Effective January 1

In August 2017, the NASW Delegate Assembly approved the most substantive revision to the NASW Code of Ethics since 1996. The 2017 revisions to the Code focus largely on the use of technology and the implications of technology for ethical practice. Nineteen sections of the Code were affected. The new Code goes into effect on January 1, 2018. NASW hosted a live training on the revisions in October 2017.

You can view the recording of the training free. You also can earn 2 Ethics CE credits for the training for a nominal fee.
HUD Provides Information to NASW-NJ Members

Periodically, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) publishes articles that might be of interest to Social Workers. Below are links to several of these.
To explore additional research, data sets, and publications, please visit: huduser.gov.

Advocacy: New Washington Update Available Now

NASW continues to be involved in activities in Washington, D.C.

The Washington Update provides a roundup of NASW national advocacy. Stay informed about NASW legislative activity, coalition work, and more. NASW published its latest Washington Update on Nov. 20.
Legal Defense Fund Grants

The NASW Legal Defense Fund (LDF) was established in 1972 by the NASW Board of Directors to advance the legal interests of the social work profession.

One of the major ways in which this is done is through grants of financial assistance to defray the legal expenses of NASW members engaged in litigation related to the NASW Code of Ethics, social work principles, and/or standards of social work practice advocated by the association.
