Rob Plotkin, MSW, LSW
Philadelphia Franchise Owner
Rob Plotkin, MSW, LSW is the franchise owner of Social Work p.r.n. - Philadelphia. Rob was awarded the first franchise system in 1997. Rob received his MSW from Temple University's School of Social Work Administration and his MBA from Drexel University's Executive MBA program. Rob believes that owning a social work business fits wonderfully for him. "I've discovered that that I'm using more of my clinical skills now," he states, "than when I was in quote" direct practice." Part of Rob's intrigue in owning a franchise system, was to meld his entrepreneurial spirit with his professional social work values, "Those values provide the structure" he notes, "and without the structure, business decisions could be made that are incompatible with what I see would be a good corporate citizen." Rob cites that Social Work p.r.n. has a reputation in Philadelphia, as an agency that can be counted on to provide quality professional social work services.

Office of Ethics and Professional Review(OEPR)
Ethics Consultation
As a service to members, the OEPR provides ethics consultations for current NASW members. Ethic consultations are a resource for members who are experiencing an ethical dilemma. We do not provide advice or tell members what to do. However, we do guide them through the Code and point them to the areas of the Code that address their concerns. We provide dialogue and considerations that allow members to make ethical decisions. We may also refer members to the appropriate areas if their questions do not appear to be related to ethics but are more related to legal issues or standards of practice.
