"The policy statements in this book set the" "parameters for official positions of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) on a broad range of critical public policy and pro- fessional issues. Thank you for your support." "Social Work Speaks is a comprehensive col- lection of policies adopted and revised by NASW's key policymaking body, the Delegate Assembly, comprised of 277 professional social workers representing NASW's diverse mem- bership. The Delegate Assembly sets broad organizational policy, approves program prior- ities, and develops a collective stance on public and professional issues. Since NASW's incep- tion in 1955, policy statement adoption has been an integral part of its governance process. This edition of Social Work Speaks includes all the revised policies approved by the 2020 Del- egate Assembly as well as those approved by previous assemblies. These position statements guide NASW's advocacy on local and national" "policy efforts."
