Full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate how the social services assure that foster homes provide the best care possible. The investigation consisted of interviews with three social workers and two foster home couples, in two different communities. Children placed in foster homes partly because of lack of care or abnormal behavior patterns. In order to maintain quality standard as a foster home it is necessary that communities investigate and do regular follow up meetings. The study shows a decreasing amount of foster homes. Reasons include that a lot of children are difficult to handle due to behavioral problems. The investigation method of recruiting new foster homes in the social services is primarily Kälvestens model. The interview with new foster home candidates is thorough and takes 3 to 6 hours. Results show that social workers have limited amount of time due to work load and are only able to meet for four follow up meetings per year. These guides are made when necessary and because there are insufficient resources and social workers do not have time for certain tasks because of overload.Keywords: children in fostercare, fostercare, fosterchildren, fosterhome, fosterparents.

Full textStudien syftar till att undersöka hur professionella inom området familjehemsvård arbetar med rekrytering, utredning och utbildning av familjehem inför mottagandet av ensamkommande barn. Avsikten är att ta reda på i fall det finns särskilda behov som motiverar specifika tillvägagångssätt för att säkerställa att barnets bästa blir vägledande och tillgodoses. Undersökningen har genomförts utifrån en kvalitativ metod och empirin har inhämtats genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med familjehemssekreterare och socialsekreterare. En gemensam efterfrågan visade sig vara anpassad utbildning för familjehem som tar emot ensamkommande barn. Det motiveras med de behov och förutsättningar som barnen ofta har gemensamt. Det mest utmärkande resultatet i denna studie är de brister professionella vittnar om då det kommer till barn som placeras i sitt nätverk, vilka här benämns som nätverksfamiljer. Bristerna består i för lite resurser samt otillräckliga regelverk och rutiner runt utredningsprocessen. Det framkom också att nätverksfamiljer inte tar del av den utbildning som för andra familjehem är obligatorisk. Respondenterna menar att varken lagstiftning, utredningsförfarande eller grundkrav är anpassade efter denna grupp. Det ställer höga krav på den enskilde respondenten då det är där de svåra besluten ofta hamnar.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to highlight the situation for youths leaving foster care and entering adult life. The study examines the services provided by the social service in the Stockholm area when a youth is leaving foster care, and if a recent change in the legislation has had any impact on the operating procedures of the social service. The study includes interviews with youths who recently left foster care, as well as information collected from social service offices through a survey, supplemented by interviews with practicing social workers. All the assembled data have been analyzed using Ecological Systems theory with focus on the child perspective and the term significant others. The study shows that the respondent youth have trouble identifying the formal ending with social services, as well as the support they received or were offered. As assembled from the survey, the few supporting services that are being arranged in connection with leaving care are similar between different social service offices. The general opinion is that they offer the required extra support that the new legislation aims to strengthen. The majority of the social service offices has therefore not changed their existing leaving care procedures. In this process, a lot of responsibility tends to be delegated to the foster homes, and due to insufficient resources social workers feel inadequate in those cases were the youth’s need for help is not met by the former foster home.

Full textSyftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka socialsekreterarnas arbete med att följa upp det familjehemsplacerade barnet, vårdnadshavarna och familjehemmet. För att besvara undersökningens syfte användes kvalitativ metod. Studien grundade sig på intervjuer med fyra barnhandläggare och fyra familjehemsekreterare som arbetar inom åtta olika kommuner. I tidigare forskning framkom att socialtjänsten brister i sin uppföljning av det familjehemsplacerade barnet, vårdnadshavarna och familjehemmet. För att understryka socialnämndens ansvar under pågående familjehemsplacering har regeringen infört detaljerade bestämmelser i 5 kap 1b § Socialtjänstförordningen. Litteraturen som ingår i studien redogör dels för handlingsutrymmet som existerar inom socialsekreterarnas arbete och hjälper till att få en djupare förståelse för kontexten inom organisationen. Tolkningsramen innefattas även av den diskussion som förs angående socialsekreterarnas kompetens inom uppföljningsarbete. Resultatet från intervjuerna visade att socialsekreterarna i varierande omfattning utför det uppföljningsarbete som lagen föreskriver men att i socialförvaltningarnas organisationer prioriteras inte uppföljningsarbetet. Respondenterna i studien anser sig ha bristande kompetens och att de har svårt att se sitt eget handlingsutrymme i uppföljningsarbetet.
The purpose of this paper is to research how social workers manage to follow up cases with children placed in foster homes, their guardians and the foster homes. To meet this purpose a qualitative method has been used. The study is founded upon eight different interviews. Four with social workers who deal with children exclusively and four with social workers who deal with foster homes, within eight different districts/municipalities. Earlier research has shown shortcomings in the way social welfare follow up cases with children placed in foster homes, the guardians and the foster home. The government has introduced regulations in chapter 5, first section of the Swedish security law to stress the responsibilities that the social welfare committee has during an ongoing foster care placement. The background literature included in this study describes what possibilities social workers have in their work situation, and helps to gain a deeper understanding of the context within the organization. It also includes the ongoing discussion about social workers’ knowledge of how to follow up cases in a correct way. The interviews that this study is founded upon shows that the social workers meet the regulations, that the law prescribes for this area, of varying degree. To follow up cases in a correct way is not prioritized in the organization of the social welfare administrations. The respondents in this study do not believe that they have enough knowledge and have difficulties seeing what possibilities their work situation gives them when it comes to following up cases.

Full textSocial workers in this study describes various experiences of the assessments of interventions for children and adolescents. Social workers experience of the many different situations where an assessment of best effort must be made on the basis of BBIC, which is the Social Services investigation records. To make this assessment, the Social workers need social assistance and support of their colleagues and manager. Knowledge mixed with experience is also an important part when it comes to being professional and not let emotions control that could otherwise be happened when the social worker meets and builds relationships with clients. Social workers are also those who will decide which achievement the client needs from the needs. We use systems theory, Hasenfeld´s theory of human services organizations and Lipsky´s grassroots bureaucrats to analyze how social worker work with clients of different experiences, knowledge and some of their own personal values for the various operations. The efforts in our work we have examined is traditional familycare and MTFC (Multi dementional Treatment Foster Care), we have found that there are different arguments for different actions, but the assessments are made virtually the same assessment model. There are requirements that govern the operation of which is matched with the objectives and resources administration. Social worker also believes that social work is a game where we do not know how the results will be.
