Abstract
NAVIGATING THROUGH THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION ACT NO 4 OF 2013: IMPLICATIONS FOR SOCIAL WORK PRACTITIONERS
THEME 4: Quality management and enhancement of social services
SUB 4.2 Building professional capacity in social service professions through supervision, support, and development
Oral Presentation
The commencement of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (hereinafter referred to as POPIA) in South Africa imposed a regulated environment from unregulated common practices when processing personal information. Under the Act, certain conditions were introduced to establish requirements when processing personal information. Among responsible persons involved in processing personal information is social work practitioners who are instrumental in protecting and supporting vulnerable members of our populations such as children, persons with disabilities, the elderly persons, refugees, and others. Despite the implications of POPIA on their practice, there is scanty literature around the subject of POPIA and social work practitioners, hence this paper provokes thoughts around the best ways for social work practitioners to navigate through the conditions imposed by this enacted law text. The paper also outlines the implications of POPIA on social work practice and proposes an approach towards practicing in compliance with this legislation.
