(a) A social worker shall promptly notify the Board when in possession of information that reasonably indicates that another licensee or certificate holder has demonstrated an impairment, gross incompetence, or unprofessional conduct that would present an imminent danger to a client or to the public health, safety, or welfare.

1. When the information is obtained in the course of a professional or consulting relationship with a client, and the client is unwilling or unable to make the report, the social worker shall report the information and advise the client of the report.

2. When the information is obtained in the course of treating a client-social worker, the treating social worker shall not be obligated to notify the Board if:

i. The treating social worker reasonably believes that the improper conduct has ceased and that the treatment is preventing a recurrence of the impairment, incompetence or professional misconduct; or

ii. The treating social worker has reasonable cause to believe that the client-social worker is currently receiving professional supervision and pursuing education to correct the deficiency.
