As the role of the PSW has evolved over time, it has become apparent that there is a need for governance of the PSW regarding complaints from the public when there is professional misconduct. This ensures a level of trust between the PSW and the clients who are a part of the vulnerable sector. At present, there is no governing body that can monitor and enforce complaints or disciplines. It has proven to be an ongoing problem with PSW’s and there have been several incidents of physical, financial and emotional/sexual abuse reported in the media.
