Child labor (CL) refers to the situation where children are involved in jobs that violate legal regulations and critically impact their comprehensive development. Specifically, there is a group of children who both attend school and engage in labor activities that either violate laws or show indications of child labor violations. In response to this reality, schools have implemented several child labour prevention (CLP) activities, yet to a limited extent, particularly those utilizing group social work methods. Through this method, students can raise their awareness, proactively enhance prevention CL skills while still attending school. By utilizing a survey questionnaire and data processing with SPSS statistical software, this paper highlights significant changes when students participate in empirical programs to raise awareness and enhance skills for preventing CL through group social work methods, thereby affirming the necessity, effectiveness, and feasibility of the activities. On that basis, the authors propose several solutions to further enhance the effectiveness of the activity.
