| Abstract | The social work profession has a chequered history of working with vulnerable groups within the criminal justice system. In South Africa, the president recently signed legislation aimed at strengthening efforts to protect distinct vulnerable groups while also expanding the list of persons who are to be protected to include other vulnerable persons. Through the phenomenological study design, this paper aimed at exploring and describing the challenges and opportunities of social workers working with diverse vulnerable groups within the criminal justice system. The authors triangulated the purposive, convenience and snowball sampling techniques to select social workers. The qualitative data was collected through individual semi-structured interviews.Thematic data analysis was used to analyse the collected data. The findings of the study indicated that the prevention of secondary victimization of vulnerable children within the justice system was a major challenge for some social workers working as court preparation officers and court intermediaries. |
