Özet

This study assesses the attitudes of 215 social care professionals employed in the child protection services in Turkey towards children. The study concludes that female social care professionals, who are at the age of 41 and above, have a more favourable attitude towards children. This finding is reflected in the scores attained for the different variables, which vary significantly.
