In my thesis, I define ethics, ethical dilemmas and ethical behaviour in the context of working with Roma families. I also focus on the ethnicization of Roma culture, the position of the Roma community in Slovenia and children in the educational process. In addition I review the inclusion of children in primary schools. Furthemore, I describe the role of the Roma assistant and the role of social work in integrating Roma children into primary schools. In the formulation of the problem, I portray why it is important to pay attention to the ethical aspects of proffesional work and practises. The school environment often pays less attention to Roma children, they receive fewer incentives and the vast majority of them are directed to schools with an adapted curriculum. Work with Roma families is often intertwined with prejudices and ethnicized treatment. It was important for me to explore many circumstances inside the stories about different ethical dilemmas, because there are still many factors in the school environment that prevent children from being well integrated. Therefore, the ethical dilemmas of social service workers in integrating Roma children into primary schools include their professional work with the families, their understanding of Roma families and how they reflect on their work. The survey is qualitative, as I used the method of individual questioning, with a partially standardized interview, the measuring instrument were the interview guidelines, I conducted 6 interviews with both workers from the dolenjska region and from Ljubljana, namely with a Roma assistant, a teacher of additional professional teaching assistance, a school counsellor, a teacher at a school with and adapted programme and two social workers.
