The Child Welfare Employees’ Constructions of Contact Visits for Parents and Children in Public Care
Following a care order, children and parents are entitled to contact with each other in accordance with the conditions established by the Child Welfare Tribunals. How child welfare employees understand what contact visits can be and how they can be structured in line with the best interests of the child is crucial in their decision making. This article explores the different constructions of contact visits, in terms of how employees communicate t…
The Discourse on the "Dangerous Child Welfare Parent"-How Contact with Parents Is Constructed as a Risk for Children Under Public Care in Norway
This article discusses contact and interaction between children, siblings and parents after a care order. We have collected and analyzed audio recordings of discussions between child welfare employees in Norway. In these meetings, the employees discuss and decide the extent and organization of visits and contact between parents and children under public care. Visitation mainly emerges as a risk in the discussions and thus as something that must b…
Og husk at vi ikke har mistet omsorgen for våre barn. Den er blitt tatt fra oss – Om hvordan foreldre som har blitt fratatt omsorgen inkluderes og ekskluderes i samfunnet
Artikkelen er et resultat av et forskningsprosjekt som studerer omsorgsovertakelser fra et foreldreperspektiv i Norge. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi hvordan mødre som er fratatt omsorgen for sine barn inkluderes og ekskluderes i samfunnet og på den måten blir gitt ulike subjektidentiteter. Identiteter den enkelte ikke nødvendigvis kjenner seg igjen i, men som like fullt kan medføre ekskludering og utestengelse fra avgjørende velferdsgoder. Det…
The practice of zero tolerance
The article discusses the emergency placement of children by the Norwegian Child Welfare Services. Nine mothers were interviewed about their experiences of the transfer of care of their children. Several of the mothers had their children removed due to an emergency decision. The article focuses on one of these stories and analyses the way in which emergency placement can be seen as a form of communication and practice. The purpose of this article…
Is participation always appropriate? Social workers' perspectives on when to exclude children from conversations about contact visits
Previous studies suggest a widespread notion among social workers that children should be involved in child protection processes. Nevertheless, children are found to be unsatisfied with the degree to which they feel involved and heard in those processes. This study explored social workers' reasons to exclude children from conversations about contact visits. It applied a social constructivist approach, in which the dominant understandings of child…
The place of children in the imaginary of welfare states
Child protection services represent a fruitful point of departure for researchers wishing to explore the complex relation between the state and parenting. One main reason for this stems from the mandate granted to these services by industrialised societies to intervene in the lives of families. In this article, we wish to show how one keyword – that of the child – functions in decisions made by Norwegian child protection services. We will be argu…
Å beslutte med henblikk på risiko? – Når politikken dytter ansvaret over på barnevernets ansatte
Artikkelens tema er hvordan barnevernet, gjennom sine kommunikative beslutninger, skaper praksis. Mer konkret har jeg undersøkt hvordan saksbehandlerne i barnevernetsundersøkelser kommer frem til beslutninger gjennom å forholde seg til ulike forventninger. Gjennom analysen synliggjøres det hvordan barnevernetsundersøkelser langt på veiblir styrt av forventninger den enkelte saksbehandler og forelder ønsker å innfri. Disse handler for eksempel om …
