Abstract (Swedish)
Alla barn har rätt till en grundläggande utbildning. Det är en mänsklig rät-tighet som stadgas i exempelvis barnkonventionen. Forskning visar att sko-lan är en bra skyddsfaktor, en fungerande skolgång minskar risken att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, exempelvis kriminalitet. Barn som är placerade utanför hemmet är en grupp som löper större risk att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, samtidigt som de inte genomför och klarar sko-lan i samma utsträckning som andra elevgrupper.
Både skola, vårdnadshavare och socialtjänsten är involverade i barnets ut-bildning när det placeras utanför hemmet, och alla parter har ett ansvar. I den här uppsatsen har jag undersökt hur det rättsliga ansvaret för skolan, vårdnadshavare och socialtjänsten ser ut... (More)
Alla barn har rätt till en grundläggande utbildning. Det är en mänsklig rät-tighet som stadgas i exempelvis barnkonventionen. Forskning visar att sko-lan är en bra skyddsfaktor, en fungerande skolgång minskar risken att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, exempelvis kriminalitet. Barn som är placerade utanför hemmet är en grupp som löper större risk att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, samtidigt som de inte genomför och klarar sko-lan i samma utsträckning som andra elevgrupper.
Både skola, vårdnadshavare och socialtjänsten är involverade i barnets ut-bildning när det placeras utanför hemmet, och alla parter har ett ansvar. I den här uppsatsen har jag undersökt hur det rättsliga ansvaret för skolan, vårdnadshavare och socialtjänsten ser ut för att barn som är placerade utan-för hemmet ska få den utbildning de har rätt till. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att ta reda på vilket ansvar varje part har, och hur ansvarsfördelningen ser ut. Frågeställningarna har besvarats med hjälp av rättsdogmatisk metod.
Fyra frågeställningar har använts för att uppfylla syftet, en övergripande: Hur ser den rättsliga ansvarsfördelningen ut mellan skola, socialtjänst och vårdnadshavare för att placerade barn får den utbildning de har rätt till utifrån svensk rätt? Samt tre underfrågor, en som behandlar varje parts an-svar. De tre underfrågorna besvaras i varsitt kapitel. Innan dess finns ett kapitel om offentligrättsliga principer kopplat till ansvar, vad rätten till utbildning är och vad skolplikt är. Kapitlet används för att ge en grund inför den fortsatta läsningen.
För att besvara frågeställningarna med rättsdogmatisk metod har lag, förar-beten, lagkommentarer och doktrin använts. Även rapporter och publikat-ioner från myndigheter används som material i uppsatsen, samt rättsfall och beslut från exempelvis JO.
Undersökningen som gjorts visar att samtliga parter har ett långtgående ansvar. Ansvaret har dock otydliga ramar, och ju fler problem som finns att lösa desto otydligare tycks det bli för hur det gemensamma ansvaret ska uppfyllas. Alla parter ska fortsätta försöka hitta lösningar, samarbeta och inte sluta försöka. Vilka lösningarna är och när varje part har gjort tillräck-ligt, framför allt i fördelningen mellan socialtjänst och skola, är inte defini-erat. (Less)
Abstract
Every child has the right to a primary education. This is a human right stat-ed in documents such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Re-search shows that school is a significant protective factor; a functioning school experience reduces the risk of ending up in harmful environments, such as criminality. Children placed outside their homes are a group which are at greater risk of ending up in harmful environments, and they tend to not complete or succeed in school to the same extent as other student groups.
Both schools, guardians, and social services are involved in the child's edu-cation when they are placed outside the home, and all parties have a re-sponsibility. In this thesis, I have examined the legal responsibilities of... (More)
Every child has the right to a primary education. This is a human right stat-ed in documents such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Re-search shows that school is a significant protective factor; a functioning school experience reduces the risk of ending up in harmful environments, such as criminality. Children placed outside their homes are a group which are at greater risk of ending up in harmful environments, and they tend to not complete or succeed in school to the same extent as other student groups.
Both schools, guardians, and social services are involved in the child's edu-cation when they are placed outside the home, and all parties have a re-sponsibility. In this thesis, I have examined the legal responsibilities of the school, guardians, and social services to ensure that children placed outside the home receive the education to which they are entitled. The aim of the thesis has been to determine the responsibility of each party and how the distribution of responsibility is structured. The research questions have been answered using a legal dogmatic method.
Four research questions have been used to fulfil the aim, one main ques-tion: How is the legal distribution of responsibility between the school, so-cial services, and guardians for ensuring that placed children receive the education they are entitled to under Swedish law? Additionally, three sub-questions, each addressing the responsibility of one party, have been ex-plored. Each of the three sub-questions is answered in separate chapters. Before these chapters, there is a chapter on public law principles related to responsibility, the right to education, and compulsory schooling. This chap-ter provides a foundation for the rest of the discussion.
To answer the research questions using the legal dogmatic method, laws, legislative history, legal commentaries, and doctrine have been used. Re-ports and publications from authorities, as well as case law and decisions from entities such as the Parliamentary Ombudsmen, have also been used as material in the thesis.
The investigation shows that all parties have extensive responsibilities. However, the boundaries of these responsibilities are unclear, and the more problems that need to be solved, the more uncertain the collective respon-sibility becomes. All parties must continue to seek solutions, cooperate, and never stop trying. What the solutions are and when each party has done enough, particularly in the distribution between social services and schools, is not clearly defined. (Less)
