A qualitative study on school counsellors´ perspectives on relationship-based social work in a school context. The purpose of the study is to provide insight into the school counsellors thoughts about relationship-based social work with children and youths. Furthermore, the purpose is to shed light on the social workers thoughts on the power relationship between children and adults and its importance for their social work in a school context. The study is based on four school counsellors, and their perspective on their practical work with children and youths was used to answer the purpose of this study. The results of the study show how the school counsellors are suggesting that relationships are a fundamental component of a functioning social work. The results also show that the school counsellors try to compensate for the inequalities that exist between children and adults. The school counsellors have several strategies to empower the children and youths they meet. The results also show how the school counsellors experience their work as very complex as they see school as a compulsory, normative and non-democratic organisation which they dissociate themselves from.
