The intension of this study is to investigate the interaction between teachers and social workers in two diffrent countys. The study is focused on how teachers act upon suspicions when there are children at risk and what kind of support the teacher gets from social workers. Another importent question is if the teachers know what kind of rules regarding to confidentiality and if it would be better for the pupils if there were no confidentiality.To get answers to my questions, i have interviewed teachers and social workers in both countys.In this study I assume that the power has three dimensions and that there are four levels of interaction.Due to the law about confidentiality the social worker has the power over the teachers. Because the law about confidentiality it is difficult for teachers and social workers to interact.If the teacher want help from social services, she or he must call the social worker because the social worker will not call the teacher. If the social worker want to help the teacher and give her advice, the social worker can do that without breaking confidentiality.

This study has a double purpose. First, it explores and maps out the use of quantitative key indicators in social performance reporting within a microfinance portfolio. This was done on behalf of Storebrand Asset Management, who would like to aggregate and report the social results of their microfinance investments to their customers. The study concludes that the extent of social reporting and types of indicators used varies, meaning that it is hard to aggregate data for use in further reporting. Thus, the work towards the goal of social reporting has only just begun.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how social workers perceive the concept of knowledge within social services, particularly within children and youth services. Our goal is also to study the employer's expectations and demands on graduate social workers.

When recruiting, what expectations does the employer have of graduate social workers? What challenges are there with recruiting a graduate social worker?We have interviewed six social workers and four employers in the social childcare division in different municipalities in Skåne region, Sweden. We have used epistemology in our analysis.

Bakgrund: Social tillhörighet grundas på självständighet, aktivitet och delaktighet i samhället. Brist på social tillhörighet kan leda till Social exkludering och sämre hälsa. Alla individer i samhället har rätt till självbestämmande och likvärdiga levnadsvillkor. Dagens samhälle kan vara en utmaning för personer med funktionsnedsättningar och den omkringliggande miljön kan erbjuda möjligheter, men också orsaka hinder. Enligt Plan- och bygglagen får byggnader med kulturhistoriskt värde inte förvanskas, vilket kan försvåra anpassningar.Syfte: Syftet med studien är att kartlägga tillgängligheten till offentliga verksamheter i en äldre småstad, för personer i aktivrullstol.Metod: Metoden vi använt oss av är en observationsstudie i två delar.

AbstractThe aim off this study is to research social workers´ knowledge, use, risks and possibilities of social media in their work with clients.

To reach this knowledge in this study, qualitative interviews have been done with six social workers that work with children, youths and families.

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur gymnasieelevers uppfattningar om hållbar utveckling formas och vilken betydelse faktorer som social klass, identitet och utbildning har för detta. Därigenom försöker studien bidra med kunskap om hur sociala strukturer som klass och identitetsprocesser påverkar elevers tillgängliggörande av hållbar utveckling som ett undervisningsinnehåll och därmed säga något om huruvida implementering av utbildning för hållbar utveckling, ESD (Education for Sustainable Development), som utbildningsprojekt riskerar att exkludera elever med arbetarklassbakgrund.Undersökningen genomfördes med kvalitativa intervjuer som metod och urvalet bestod av åtta elever från två olika skolor, en studieförberedande och en yrkesförberedande. Materialet analyserades utifrån Bourdieus teorier om kulturellt kapital, habitus och kulturell reproduktion.Resultaten av studien visar att det finns skillnader i hur elever med olika kulturellt kapital ser på hållbar utveckling, att social klass och identitet har stor betydelse för hur eleverna tillägnar sig hållbar utveckling som ett undervisningsinnehåll, samt att detta riskerar att exkludera grupper av lägre social klass som studerar på yrkesförberedande program från att lära sig om och bli engagerade i frågor om hållbar utveckling. Men studien visar också att skolan har stora möjligheter att påverka detta om implementeringen av ESD kan anpassas till en mer pluralistisk ansats som bättre tillgodoser alla elevgruppers unika behov och preferenser. Vidare framträder att styrningen av skolan har betydelse för vilken form av kulturell reproduktion som sker inom ESD.

This B.Sc. Thesis examines how Swedish Large Cap companies communicate CSR in social media. We describe the current state of CSR communication in four different social media channels, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and blogs. This research, supported by interviews with stakeholders and a quantitative survey, analyses the potential risks and benefits from communicating CSR via social media and provides concrete advice on the development of a CSR communication strategy for social media. Although some benefits have been realized, many companies have failed to truly reap the potential benefits from an effective social media strategy for CSR.

Today the school is a given place for preventing social problems. The school struggles continuously to live up to the expectations of balancing preventive social work with pedagogy in a satisfactory way.The purpose of this essay is to get a picture of priorities of social work in school. I want to know what it is that affects and controls the principal's decision about what kind of social project they will accept and be a part of.This essay shows that only one of the eleven principals interviewed apply projects based on evidence when they decide about participation in a social project. Instead, the decisions are based on references from other schools. The reason why the principals do not base their judgement on projects which are based on evidence is because they consider the search for results too time consuming.When there is no requirement that a certain part of the social work in a school must be based on evidence, it leads to the children taking part in different social projects which we can not guarantee are good for them.One solution can be to guide the principals through a national social teachingplan, which can assure that social work based on evidence are being applied in the municipality schools as well as the independent schools..
