How many hours of social service consultation is mandated per month?

The mandated number of hours of social service consultation per month is established to ensure adequate support and guidance for individuals engaged in various programs or services that rely on social service expertise. Setting this requirement at four hours allows for a meaningful amount of time for practitioners to engage with clients, assess their needs, and provide the necessary advice or interventions. This duration recognizes the complexity of social service work and the importance of consistent, quality interaction.

Choosing four hours strikes a balance, allowing enough time for thorough consultation while also being practical in terms of resource allocation. This standard reinforces the commitment to deliver effective social services effectively and align with best practices in the field.
