Sammanfattning: Every organization that in some way work with children must, according to the law Social Services Act, report to the Social Service if they know or suspect any circumstances that endangers the youth’s social, physical or psychological health. Even though this law exists there has been occasions where staff at community youth centers did not report even when there was reason to believe that a child’s health was in danger. The purpose of this study is to highlight the view on concern and the possible reasons behind the personal of community youth centers choosing not to report. The study will also highlight the personals view on relations significance and the tendency to report to the Social Services. The study has a qualitative approach and is based on semi structured interviews with staff at community youth centers in Malmö. The results of this study show that all informants initially thought that the obligation to report was something good. The informants also thought that the obligation was not so reflexive and quite inflexible in its involvement. In the stage of suspicion, the staff tended to use their room for action to find alternative strategies for handling the concern.
