Which opportunities and difficulties do social workers find in the cooperation?
This study is based upon interviews with ten social workers in the social childcare division in different municipalities in Skåne region, Sweden. Our results are explained and analyzed with a qualitative approach through different aspects of power- and Human Service Organization theories. Our results show that social workers define vulnerable children as being in an inferior position to adults. Vulnerable children are also described to be in situations that they have not chosen to be in and which they need help to get out of. These children are also seen to need preventive and long- termed measurements, predictability in their lives, to be able to understand what happens around them and to get manageable explanations. Social workers describe cooperation with other public authorities as important and often necessary to be able to give vulnerable children the help they need. The cooperation is although said not to be working as good as it should and it is in need of improvement for the sake of the vulnerable children. (Less)
