This course addresses the child welfare service’s intervention decisions concerning the relationship between children and parents. The students will receive an introduction to the country social welfare boards’ case processing, placement outside the home and compulsory measures. The main focus is on measures outside the home, such as foster homes and institutions, but orders imposing preventive measures in the home are also discussed. Children’s and parents’ participation in intervention decisions is a core topic, as are professional and ethical issues resulting from the child welfare service’s exercise of power.
