According to the increasing statistics of divorce in Iran, we see a large number of children of divorce who are involved in many social, psychological and emotional injuries, which have been given less attention. Social workers as experts can play an effective role in reducing these harms. The purpose of the study is to explain the importance and role of social work in working with children. The main question of this research is whether the effectiveness of social work interventions on children of divorce has been considered? Using a Meta-Synthesis, this paper selected and analyzed 25 English and Persian studies on the impact of social service interventions on of children from divorced families during 1970-2020.Based on the findings, the researches were categorized into three areas: the negative consequences of parental divorce on children, the interventions made regarding divorced children, and the role of social work. The researches show that the interventions carried out were in the field of children's mental and emotional problems and less attention was paid to children's social issues. If specialized services are not provided to the children of divorce, the effects of the parents' divorce will be institutionalized, and removing them will cost a lot for individual and society. Social workers are one of the groups that importance of their role and specialized services has been paid less attention in researches. They can provide appropriate services to families and children to prevent possible harm or if problems arise, children will be less harmed in divorce.
