Abstract:
Children in child welfare services have a higher risk of becoming marginalized. An important protective factor against later marginalization is academic achievement. Unfortunately, studies show that children who receive support from child welfare services have poorer academic achievement. Most research focuses on children in out-of-home care and on performance in secondary school or school completion rate, while few studies focus on children receiving home-based support from child welfare services and their performance in primary school. Recipients of home-based support is the largest group of children receiving help from the child welfare services, and knowledge on whether this group of children are struggling in the early stages of their education is necessary for knowing when to intervene. The study shows some important predictors of academic achievement in this population: parental income, education, and marital status as well as the childrens externalizing difficulties.
