BCASW is a voluntary, not-for-profit membership association that provides support and professional development services to its members and a strong voice for professional and social advocacy. BCASW is one of eleven provincial/territorial social work associations belonging to the Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW). Through CASW we support the work of the 76-nation International Federation of Social Workers. BCASW was incorporated in 1956 and has branches and members (including students) throughout BC. BCASW's mandate is to advocate for the interests and concerns of professional social workers. The Association does not carry a disciplinary role, which is the mandate of the profession's regulatory body, the Board of Registration for Social Workers. BCASW and BRSW are two distinct organizations.
