This paper examines the recipients of social work support in the Millennium Cohort Study. Using panel analysis and fixed effects models it investigates the factors that lead to the receipt of any type of social work support for individuals with young children, and the effects of this support on changes in the prevalence of emotional and behavioural problems in these children. We find that divorce or separation, and episodes of homelessness are two important factors that lead to the receipt of social work support. Mothers with male children are also more likely to receive social work support. However, we find no clear evidence that social work support has any effect on changes in children’s emotional and behavioural problems over time. The implications of these findings for social work research, and for practice and policy are discussed.
