The Nationwide Affiliation of Social Employees South Carolina Chapter (NASW-SC) is strongly in opposition to the proposed Home Invoice 3515, also called the “Entrepreneur Freedom Act.”
The aim of this invoice is to repeal and cast off licensure for social staff and lots of different professions in SC. We fought so onerous for licensure on this state and won’t permit it to be taken away.
Licensed social staff, like different psychological well being and well being care suppliers, are regulated professionals who require a vigorous schooling, ongoing skilled coaching, and adherence to a strict NASW Code of Ethics.
Social staff provide particularly guided well being care and group help providers that require experience, skilled competencies, and fixed moral vigilance.
Repealing our licensure would permit anybody to name themselves a social employee. This impacts our capability to be pretty compensated for our providers and endangers purchasers who may search assist from unqualified and untrained people.
This invoice is DANGEROUS to our career and to the individuals who rely on us. H3515 is now within the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee.
Our job now’s to take motion! Name your consultant as we speak and demand they Vote NO on H3515. To seek out your consultant go to: South Carolina Legislature On-line (scstatehouse.gov).
We can’t and won’t relaxation till this invoice is stopped! In case you are excited by different solution to fight this invoice, contact the chapter office.
