Eltern und Familien als Adressat_innen von Sozialer Arbeit in Bildungsinstitutionen

While school social work is now considered an established service in the range of child and youth welfare services almost nationwide, daycare centre social work is a counselling and support arrangement that has only gained in importance in recent years. School social work is often used as a professional point of reference with regard to the conceptual development of day-care centre social work, but without any systematic justification. In this focus section, both fields of work are addressed, with a particular focus on the family orientation that can be observed in both areas. It can be assumed that a new attention in politics, science and professional practice for family and parenthood as a whole can also be traced for school social work and day-care centre social work in particular. The aim of this focus area is to examine this family-orientation in more detail for both fields and to reflect on its consequences.
