Ungdomar och socialtjänsten : En kvantitativ studie om ungdomars attityd, kunskap och tillit gentemot socialtjänsten.

Sammanfattning: Social services are a human treatment organization that exists in our society to promote people's living conditions and contribute to a higher quality of life. What society thinks and feels about social services as an institution is fundamental, in particular the attitudes, knowledge and trust of young people towards social services. Young people are our future and social problems evolve over time, so working with young people is crucial to how social services can adapt their work to these developments. A quantitative survey has been carried out using a questionnaire survey in which 126 young people in upper secondary school participated. The main result of the study showed that there are tendencies of negative attitudes, lack of knowledge and neutral to low trust. It also shows that mainly two of the mentioned factors play a role in young people's willingness to act.
