2 ADVANCED SOCIAL POLICY Policy Spotlight Assignment - Interstate Licensure Compact Qn1 For a social worker who hopes to bring about meaningful social change in the community, it is essential to comprehend how policies operate. Diverse individuals require protection. For underprivileged, marginalized, or minority groups, this parallel is especially pertinent. As per the National Association of Social Workers (n.d.), social work policies are effective instruments for upholding appropriate social and cultural exchanges among individuals in a community. Social issues that have an impact on people's welfare serve as the basis for the creation and implementation of social policies. This document aims to provide an overview of the main policy concerns that NASW is currently concentrating on. The aforementioned analogy will be realized by combining an overview of the policy, its applicability to my line of work, and the effects it has on a variety of population. Published February 27, 2023 (NASW, n.d.) is the Model Social Work Interstate Compact Bill. An interstate compact, according to NASW (n.d.), is a formal agreement between two or more states or territories that would allow social workers to practice in each other's territories, hence increasing license mobility for practitioners. As a policy, the law will increase social workers' options to provide services in many jurisdictions, provided that seven states pass the legislation before the Compact Commission is formed (NASW, n.d). The policy will expand the range of services that social workers can provide by improving the operational environment for practitioners. More significantly, it will remove the requirement set forth by NASW (n.d.) to get a separate license in each state in which they intend to conduct business. The social work compact was primarily created to safeguard social workers and provide a more effective processing mechanism. Other benefits mentioned by NASW (n.d.) include supporting interstate tele mental health and maintaining and bolstering state licensing programs. Apart from enhancing care continuity for clients who relocate, the social work compact also promotes collaboration among participating states (NASW, n.d). Qn2 My professional career will be greatly impacted by the Interstate Licensing Compact because it will enable me to freely move between states as I broaden the scope of my service offering. The kind of clients I work with won't be restricted because to my freedom of movement. Similar to this, the social work compact lessens discrimination based on culture and other factors because it allows social workers to work with clients from all walks of life, regardless of their background in politics, the economy, society, or culture (Social work practice mobility, n.d.). The policy will encourage professional social workers to exchange ideas, which will impact learning and continuity in my line of work.

3 ADVANCED SOCIAL POLICY Qn3 Social workers will have limitless opportunity to perform their profession because the social work compact expands the parameters of operations. Since no restrictions are imposed on any one neighborhood, all populations will receive services that are equal and equitable. In order to guarantee that all underprivileged, minority, or disadvantaged populations receive services from any available social worker who works inside the member states, the social work agreement commits to exposing the challenges of each member state equally. This operational flexibility supports the provision of balanced services.
