Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is currently a hot topic in Canada. Organizations are seeking various approaches on fulfilling their responsibilities in DEI. In this workshop, we will look at how The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), the regulatory body for all social workers and social workers in Ontario (similar to OCT), take on the responsibilities and work towards the goal for being more DEI. OCSWSSW was chosen as the case study organization because it is overseeing all the social workers and social services workers in Ontario, and it is responsible for developing policies that social workers and social workers must follow when they deliver their services. This seminar will also examine how one of the management body of the organization, the EDI (Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) committee approaches the issues and leading the directions for DEI for OCSWSSW.
