The regulatory role

• Complex, fragmented and ephemeral

• What do they do?

• Difficult to pin down – – What is ideology and/or culture? Is there

an understanding of the role?

• Do they have a leadership role?


Regulatory role

• Less centralised or more centralised

• Less accessible or more accessible?

• Networked governance or marketised voices?

• Accountable to users or to politicians?


thoughts

• Where is regulation on the social work education and research map? Should it be there - why?

• How do the regulatory institutions link to social work – what contact do they make?
