Abstract
This study examines cases of children in elementary schools and junior high schools who require protective care or assistance and are registered in child abuse prevention networks in an unidentified city. The problems children encounter, such as their ecological environment, the state of their guardians and/or their own states, how school social workers support them, and changes in them, their guardians, and schools were all determined. Thanks to the support of school teams including school social workers, it was found that in more than half of cases that parents and schools created relationships or school staff and children did so. In more than 40% of the cases, the children found a place in their school and their life environment was improved. In more than 30% of cases, the behavior problems of the children settled down, and they found far more for themselves in school than they found with their friends. Therefore, it was shown that support by a school social worker can change a child, a home, and a school, and it is essential to create a system that takes into account the point of view of a whole city.
