Questionaire for social services worker

Today i have gathered the questions i would like to ask the social services worker in my interview. I will be using an unstructured interview so from this i can gather qualitative data.

  • How long have you worked for social services



  • What were the most common reasons children were placed institutions



  • Do you think placing children in institutions traumatizes  them



  • Do you think the quality of care can change the negative effects institutions can have on a child


  • Do you believe that many children placed in institutions go on to commit crimes, if so what type of crimes


          Do you think it is healthy for children to be placed in institutions

Article in newspaper

i found this really intresting story published in the gurdian in 2009 about kids who sent to an institutional back in the 1960's and they were beaten and raped. I thought this would be useful to back up my essay about the effects of institutionalisation
