social study

Read a random definition: inequity

A quick definition of social study:

Social study is when someone looks at a child's home and family to see if they are safe and happy. This is usually done by a social worker when a child has been taken away from their home because of bad things happening there. It can also be done when someone wants to adopt a child. This is called a home study or custody evaluation.

A more thorough explanation:

Social study is a term used in family law to refer to an investigation into a child's home, family environment, and background. This investigation is usually conducted by a social worker when a child has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. It can also be conducted when evaluating potential adoptive parents.

The investigation results in a summary report, known as a home-study report or custody evaluation. This report provides information about the child's living situation and helps determine the best course of action for their well-being.

  • When a child is removed from their home due to abuse, a social worker will conduct a social study to determine if the child can safely return home or if they need to be placed in foster care.
  • Before a couple can adopt a child, they must undergo a social study to ensure they can provide a safe and stable home environment for the child.

These examples illustrate how social study is used to evaluate a child's living situation and determine the best course of action for their safety and well-being.
