Massachusetts H279 aims to ensure parity in social work licensure and establish a commission to explore new child welfare worker certifications.
Massachusetts H279 amends social work licensure laws to ensure gender parity in language and establish a special commission. The commission will investigate the creation of a new certification for child welfare workers at the Department of Children and Families. It will explore whether social work licensure is the only appropriate qualification for child welfare workers, consider a new certification with specific training and education requirements, and ensure that certification criteria do not disproportionately affect certain communities.
