Ethical Guidelines
Supplemental Ethical Standards for School Social Work Practice. Document developed by the Midwest School Social Work Council and endorsed by SSWAA.

In the left gutter on page 1 is a list of the associations that have communicated their endorsement of the SES in the chronological order in which the endorsements were received. As more associations choose to endorse the SES, their names can be added to the list in the left gutter. Endorsements can be communicated to Nic Dibble in order to update the list.
