Each "CSWE Annual Report" covers highlights of the organization's activities for a complete fiscal year (which runs from July 1 of one year to June 30 of the next). Prepared by a staff team and published through the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Office on Member and Communication Services, the report serves to inform members and the public regarding important initiatives, program updates, and other news of the year just completed. For CSWE, the past year saw the development of new and strengthening of existing partnerships within and outside social work. CSWE, Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors, National Association of Deans and Directors of Schools of Social Work, St. Louis Group, Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education in Social Work, Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR), American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare (AASWSW), National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and Association of Social Work Boards are collaborating on two important initiatives: (1) a study of the current social work workforce to help prepare them to deliver the quantity and quality of practitioners needed in emerging fields; and (2) a task force to advance evidence-based practice in social work. They are advancing policy practice through their Policy Coalition and Policy Field Education grants as well as strengthening their voice and impact on the national level through a robust and strategic agenda for legislative advocacy and public policy. This year, SSWR and CSWE developed an official agreement to advance public policy to support social work research and its application in policy and practice.
