Guidance on New Duty to Warn and Protect Requirements
Last week, Governor Murphy signed into law legislation that will require health care professionals, including social workers, to help keep firearms away from clients who may harm themselves or others. The legislation (
A1181
) strengthens existing Duty to Warn or Protect law and requires clinicians to notify local police if a client makes a credible threat of violence, or is deemed to be a threat of violence, against themselves or others.
We've prepared
a
Tip Sheet to help social workers understand the new reporting requirements. The information is also available under the "Clinical SW" drop-down on our
Website.
