This study investigated how social workers assess single mothers’and fathers’needs in the areas of paid work and social support. It found that social workers conform to gender “heteronormative” expectations. A father’s problems are assessed as being more closely linked to paid work than are a mother’s, whereas a mother’s problems are assessed as being related to difficulties in the area of social networks.
