Education and Experience

They possess the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensure requiring no supervision, or the Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) licensure requiring supervision if they provide clinical intervention. Additionally, school social workers must have a valid certification from the Louisiana Department of Education.

Professional Conduct

Social workers maintain a high standard of professional conduct. They are governed by the Louisiana State Board of Social Work Examiners, the National Association of Social Workers code of ethics, and the School Social Work Association of America. The Louisiana legislature outlines the professional and occupational standards by which all social workers must adhere.
