Many difficulties in the professional work of social services with lex Sarah were identified in our study. The results of the study showed that there are different aspects to take into considerations when the social workers in individual- and family section in social services decide whether to report or not according to lex Sarah. According to the social workers lex Sarah is associated with knowledge gaps, definition difficulties, the negative approach of the management, blame and fear of reprisals. Lex Sarah is not an effective working tool for the quality in the organization. (Less)
