Mr. Hui stressed the need for social workers to

be provided with in-depth training to assist them to

respond to the increasing range and complexity of their

responsibilities. Specialised and advanced training in

the form of full-time overseas courses are provided but

inevitably only a limited number of staff can be so

trained each year. In addition, short courses and

workshops are constantly being provided locally in

specialist areas such as child abuse and delinquency.

As to the idea of a registration system of

social workers, I understand that the profession and the

ari Hong Kong Council of Social Service is considering a

These

voluntary system, and I shall certainly follow this

developments with interest.
