School Social Worker
A school social worker’s role is to support pupils who feel they need someone to talk to about problems at school or about things that happen at home or during leisure time.
School social workers are bound by confidentiality.
A school social worker is a social sector expert working at a school. He or she acts preventively; in other words, the school social worker attempts to prevent problems from growing too big.
With your consent, the school social worker may cooperate with other pupil welfare employees. We can also cooperate with healthcare and social welfare services to solve problems or redirect you forward to receive other kinds of help.
Moreover, your parents can contact the school social worker if they are worried about you.
In addition to school social workers, pupil welfare services consist of school psychologists and school healthcare.
Secondary education School Social Worker
A school social worker’s services are intended for students in secondary education (VALMA/TUVA, including vocational education arranged as intensive special needs support) and folk high schools. We work preventively to promote your mental and social health. School social workers cooperate with you, the school staff, other student welfare employees, and other important adults according to agreement.
Together with other school staff, we strive to make sure that the school is a healthy and safe working environment for all.
School social workers are bound by confidentiality, and all discussions with them are voluntary.
In addition to school social workers, student welfare services consist of school psychologists and student healthcare.
