Professionellt socialt arbete på Sri Lanka

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine in which range social work in a informal security regime is professional in the case of Sri Lanka. We used a qualitative method, interviewing four socialworkers in a non-governmental organization in Sri Lanka. We also introduced a case in the end of the interviews for the socialworkers to respond to. The study shows that the socialworkers don´t have any formal education and don´t work after scientific methods or theories. Rather they use experience as a guide in decisionmaking and actions.
