Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) Rules and Notes on Advertising 

The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) has six different pages pertaining to marketing, advertising and social media. Rather than guessing or chasing them down, they're all combined here. 

The OCSWSSW has three PDFs on the topics of advertising, social media and electronic communications. They are all combined and can be accessed here: 

There are also three webpages to know:

​

  1. The standard advertising page. While there is a PDF download on this in the practice notes (included in the combined PDF notes above) lists all the parts and specific rules, particularly on use of titles. 

  2. The social media page. This page outlines the high level considerations to make. On it are also practice notes on social media use (included in the combined PDF notes above). 
    For questions on advertising and social media, the go-to email is practice@ocswssw.org

  3. The page on use of titles. While not the most specific to marketing and advertising, registrants will have to acknowledge their title and status, and this page outlines how to do this. 
    For questions on titles, the go-to email is titleprotection@ocswssw.org
