Presentation of the Association of centres for social work

The Association of Centres for Social Work (ACSW) was founded on the basis of the s. 52 of the Institutions Act in 1996 by the decision of the Assembly of Association of the Centres for Social Work of Slovenia. All 16 centres for social work in the Republic of Slovenia are connected to ACSW.

ASCW represents centres for social work in relationships with the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, competent ministries, in the Social Chamber of Slovenia and other professional associations and municipalities. It participates in the preparation and enforcement of collective agreements and represents interests of centres for social work, cooperates and communicates the interests of centres in the preparation of the bases for the implementation of activities, as well as in the preparation of guidelines for the implementation of programs, norms, and prices of services. Professionals and directors come together in working groups where they coordinate common guidelines, knowledge bases and protocols. ASCW offers professional support and organizational assistance to centres for social work.
