- Abstract
- The purpose of the study was to study the overall support given to community-placed children, their birth parents and foster parents when a child is placed in care. The different supports have therefore been studied and inventoried by collecting data from a total of (n=254) respondents from more than 85 Swedish municipalities. The respondents were professional social workers working within social services with children placed in out-of-home care.

Child protection is a part of the municipal welfare services, organized at the local level in 290 municipalities in Sweden. There are currently no national guidelines for what supports should be used when a child is placed in out-of-home care. The three-part parenting is an approach that social services in Sweden should use according to the National Board of Health and Welfare when a child is placed in care. It describes how foster parents, biological parents, and social services share responsibilities for the welfare of the child placed in out-of-home care. The method used was a web survey in four different versions depending on the respondents' work titles. The questionnaire was distributed to social workers within children and youth units in Sweden with questions divided into eight different categories, including questions about existing support, support that is actively used, and which methods the respondent is trained in. The respondents were also asked questions regarding their routines when working with children placed in care, their biological parents, and their foster parents. The theories applied were human service organizations, functional stupidity, and implementing theory with Lennart Lundquist's concepts of willingness, understanding, and ability as the main theory. Some of the study’s findings were that 53% of the systematized supports are given to the professional, 60.3% of the respondents have no specific routines or do not know if there are routines regarding support for birth parents and 15.4% of respondents know who bears the ultimate responsibility for a child placed in out of home care.
