The role of the social worker as a support professional in co- education

Abstract

In the study, I touch upon the issue of integrated-inclusive school education in Hungary. In terms of the topic, I will present the most important basic concepts and the conditions for effective co-education. The focus of the study is the role of the social worker in educational institutions, where he can perform many tasks for different target groups. Since his work involves a complex and diverse range of tasks, continuous, mutual cooperation with the staff of the institution and fellow professions (e.g. school psychologist, sociologist, special education teacher, etc.) is essential for effective and efficient work. Thus, in terms of professional cooperation, the study points to the importance of knowing the limits of professional competence, emphasizing the importance of interprofessionalism.
