* Which factors do the social worker decide the allocation of support?
* What do the social worker think affects the work with the foster home from a society level?
To answer our question we have interviewed nine social workers. We found that the social workers were generally good at perceiving how the micro- and meso-systems, and to a certain extent the exo-system, influenced the foster child. We concluded that the social workers felt some despair for how little influence the child has above the laws in the macro-systems. (Less)
