Although social work has existed as an academic subject for many decades, it is still unclear what it is that distinguishes a good social worker from a bad one. In the social services investigation of child abuse, it is crucial that social workers do a conscientious job in relation to legislation, but also, and perhaps above all, to provide assistance to the families who are in need of support. Efforts to investigate child abuse is a public authority and ultimately is forced interventions available, if needed to help children. Despite the potential for coercion is no doubt that the best results are obtained by a collaboration between the social worker and family. How then does the social worker do to get a good working relationship at the entrance of an inquiry, initiated from a complaint from someone who feels the child suffering? The purpose of the study is to investigate the alliance-building in forced child inquiries. Social workers assessed by colleagues and management as role models are selected. Researcher will follow this social workers doing inquires during a period. Directly adjacent to the meeting the social worker and the client will be interviewed about their experiences of it. After the third meeting, clients and social workers complete a form, Working Alliance Inventory (WAI), an instrument that measures the estimated Alliance. The material will be analyzed by content analysis and statistical analysis.
