Abstract
Prompted by the introduction of statutory social work registration into the Republic of
Ireland, the authors consider the assumptions that attach to regulation, including the
promise of greater public protection vis-a` -vis the management of misconduct issues by
social work regulators. They ponder the paradoxical implications for the future of social
work if, notwithstanding the arguments in favour of registration, social work fails to
theorise and critically reflect on the prevention, interpretation and management of
professional misconduct.
