2010 ACSW Annual Conference - Call For Proposals
The 2010 ACSW Conference in Edmonton provides a venue for sharing fresh ideas and approaches for social workers working in a variety of settings all across Alberta. We see our profession as separate and distinct from other professions, and wish to enhance our understanding of the Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice, and the Health Professions Act.
Our 2010 theme highlights the third value of the Canadian Association of Social Workers' Code of Ethics (2005): Service to Humanity. "The social work profession upholds service in the interests of others, consistent with social justice, as a core professional objective. In professional practice, social workers balance individual needs, and rights and freedoms with collective interests in the service of humanity. When acting in a professional capacity, social workers place professional service before personal goals or advantage, and use their power and authority in disciplined and responsible ways that serve society. The social work professional contributes to knowledge and skills that assist in the management of conflicts and the wide-ranging consequences of conflict." We welcome your proposals for workshops fitting within our conference theme.
