SAFE PASS™ Decision Framework
Created by Ashley Ruocco, LCSW-C
SAFE PASS is an independent educational framework created by Ashley Ruocco, LCSW-C and used within her social work licensing exam study tools to help learners organize their reasoning when working through FIRST, NEXT, BEST, and MOST questions.
SAFE PASS is separate from the official ASWB examination framework and is not an ASWB-created methodology.
Decision Coach, Not Question Bank
SAFE PASS helps you break down practice questions you already have. It does not generate, reproduce, or provide ASWB exam questions.
