The research was based on qualitative interviews with six social workers in child welfare, in conjunction with personnel policy documents acquired from Frederiksberg and Kirseberg. Our findings showed that the development of competence depends on financial resources, time available and the location of the courses. We also found that most knowledge enhancement is down to the individual social worker, and is predominately done during their spare time, without any compensation from the management. Our conclusion was that participating in developing competence seemed like a stress factor for many of the social workers, when they had to put aside the ordinary work. (Less)
