Abstract: In the field of social work activates specialized personnel and personnel with skills and competencies in social work. The exercise of social work as a profession involves two forms: the possibility of an individual employment contract as an employee or the exercise of specific activities independently within individual offices or professional civil society of social work. Also, in practice there are some situations in which private providers of social services are using social workers under volunteer contracts. Identifying all aspects related to exercising the profession of social worker in Romania in terms of legality involves analyzing the provisions of several laws - Law no. 53/2003 (Labor Code) with subsequent amendments, Law no. 466/2004 on the Statute of social worker, Law no. 292/2011 on social work, Law no. 200/2004 on the recognition of diplomas and professional qualifications for regulated professions in Romania, Volunteering Law no. 195/2001, Code of Ethics of the social worker profession no. 1/2007. The author of this article examines the provisions of all these laws to identify professional and ethical rights and obligations incumbent to social workers, the conditions that must be met for the social worker to obtain the certificate of free practice and cases of professional incompatibility.
