Case Study
A Day in the Life
of a School Social Worker
When children and young people struggle with their education, health or social development it can be an early warning sign of deeper issues at home.
By working with the student and their family, the school social worker aims to see children become safe and healthy, with a strong sense of identity and supportive relationships around them.
