Abstract
This literature scan is written to support the first phase of enhance R2P: an Ako Aotearoa funded
project focused on developing a professional capabilities framework to clarify the capabilities of
newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) and social workers at experienced and advanced levels of
practice. The first phase of the project is designed to answer the following question: what is the
content of the current New Zealand social work curriculum and how does it relate to the core
competencies of the Social Workers’ Registration Board (SWRB)? This literature scan is written for
the research team, our project participants and the wider stakeholder community of interest. Its
aims are twofold: to introduce social work education in Aotearoa New Zealand and to explore the
rationale for two aspects of our proposed methodology - curriculum mapping and the development
of a taxonomy of Terms for Indexing Social Work Education in Aotearoa New Zealand (TISWEANZ).
