Abstract

Abstract Observation of the role relations between an education welfare officer and the senior staff of two schools (particularly the heads) underlines the extent to which the EWO's opportunity to undertake effective social work is facilitated or denied by schools. She does not enjoy freedom of professional self determination; nor does the education welfare service itself. Thus the implementation of the Seebohm/Plowden conception of the EWO as a social worker is heavily dependent upon the willingness of heads to use them in this way and to offer them the necessary support.
