The aim of the work is to describe activities within the social work area. The article presents meta-reflection on the features of the activities of child protection workers, which indicate their characteristics. The thesis of the paper is the statement that understanding these activities requires reference to their constitutive features. The point of view adopted in the text concerns the recognition of activity in a dynamic, comprehensive way, taking into account the multiple relationships that are formed between different areas of activity. The text is not a survey report. The presented considerations are rather a reflection from a distance, inspired by the conclusions of narrative research conducted with child protection workers in 2011–2017. The reflection was enriched with literature corresponding to the adopted point of view on the activity analysis. The presented considerations may be of interest to readers located in the field of social work as researchers and/or practitioners who seek inspiration to discover, reinterpret or making strange what is known within the activities related to this field of practice.
