The vision of the Manitoba College of Social Workers is to serve the public interest through regulation of, and support to, the Social Work profession in Manitoba. The College provides leadership in promoting the excellence of its members in providing Social Work services to the public.

Social Workers are employed in a variety of settings throughout Manitoba including but not limited to hospitals, schools, child welfare agencies, correctional institutions, non-profit community and social service organizations and increasingly, in private practice.

Individuals who use the title “Social Worker” or represent themselves as a Social Worker in Manitoba must be registered with the College. Registration acts as a statement of commitment by Social Workers assuring members of the public that they meet standards for qualification as a Social Worker and that their practice is conducted in accordance with recognized ethics and standards for professional practice.
