This research group examines perceptions of risk and child protection in ultra-Orthodox communities. So far, the group has interviewed ultra-Orthodox fathers, mothers, children, families seeking welfare services, and male social workers who work with the community. This year, we want to expand to other perspectives in the ultra-Orthodox population in the field of risk and child protection (for example, female professionals working with the community). Priority will be given to female master’s students from the ultra-Orthodox community.
