"I det okända barnets intresse" – En kvalitativ studie om handläggarens roll vid en medgivandeutredning
Sammanfattning: Author: Anna Croneberg Title: ‘In the Best Interest of the Child’ – A Qualitative Study of the Social Worker’s Role in Assessing Prospective Adoptive Parents. [Translated title] Supervisor: Yvonne Johansson This thesis examines the social worker’s complex role through ought the delicate process of assessing prospective adoptive parents. Through a qualitative approach, based on semi-structured interviews of six social workers, the study analyses the respondents’ views of their profession as well as the concept of ‘the child’s best interest’ through the theories of Social constructivism and Street-level bureaucracy. Consequently, the thesis argues that the unregulated process of assessment is problematic, not only from a legal standpoint, but from a normative perspective of what is ‘in the best interest’ of an adoptive child. Keywords: social work, assessment, professional role, adoptive parenthood, interest of the child.
