If you are working for a contract agency, just tell the social worker that you work for  (example) Clean Inc., at Ben Franklin School. Most people can understand this, even though it seems odd to some. Your employer is the name on your paycheck or direct deposit.

Just tell them, no reason not to and it could at least seem a bit odd if you don't tell them.

Make sure the social worker understands you work for a contractor for the school and that she has the right contact information to call. You don’t want the school to be contacted about an employee that they don’t have. 
Next contact your employer and explain to them why your employment need to be verified. Otherwise your employer might think you are looking for other work.

Contact both of them, then you are covered.
Good Luck.

I'd ask the social services for clarification.
Inform your employer if they need to verify your employment.
Inform the school if they need character witnesses of people you work around.
Could be that you need to inform both of them.
