The College of Social Work (TCSW) is the centre of excellence for social work, upholding and strengthening professional standards to the benefit of the public. Like colleges for other professions, our role is to: • Hold the standards for the profession and support and enable our members to meet those standards • Be the voice of the profession to policy makers and the media, ensuring that our members speak up for the profession • Be led by and accountable to our members – the profession. We do this in order to improve the outcomes for the people served by our profession. Our vision: The College of Social Work exists to ensure that social workers are able to work to the highest possible standards, engage as effectively as possible with people who use social work services and their carers, and allow children and adults to achieve their full potential. Our mission: The mission of The College is to develop a strong profession, confident about the unique contributions it makes to the individuals, families and communities it serves, with a clear sense of its identity, values, ethics and purpose. The College of Social Work is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. It is governed by a Board of Trustees.
