Mechanisms for Assessing the Effectiveness of Social Work in Preventing Child Violence in General Education Institutions

Abstract

This study explores the mechanisms for assessing the effectiveness of social work in preventing child violence within general education institutions. It evaluates existing literature, intervention programs, and risk assessment models that guide social workers in implementing preventive strategies. By examining various approaches—ranging from therapeutic social work interventions to school-based multidisciplinary collaborations—this research highlights the significance of a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for child protection. The study identifies key factors influencing the success of social work interventions, including policy integration, the role of school social workers, and the challenges they face in policy-making. A systematic analysis of global best practices is provided to inform future policy recommendations and practical interventions. The findings emphasize the need for a holistic, multi-stakeholder approach that engages educators, social workers, and policymakers in a unified effort to mitigate child violence and promote a safer learning environment in educational institutions.
