De osynliga barnen - om barnperspektiv i handläggning av ekonomiskt bistånd

Sammanfattning: Author: Christine Hermansson, Lucie Liljeroth Titel: The invisible children – about child perspective when working with families with long-term financial assistance Supervisor: Gunilla Lindén The aim of the study was to examine why social workers in the City of Malmo work in a particular way with consideration of child perspective, when working with families with long-term financial assistance. The data was gathered by means of the qualitative method. Six social workers were interviewed within the 4 districts of Malmo. The results were then analysed using ‘Human Resource perspective’ along with ‘Alvessons window display’. The result of the study shows, that the child perspective in financial management is not taken into account to the same extent as it could, due to the intentions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Contributing factors to this are, among others, that it is not defined when a client is classified as a long-term recipient, a concrete meaning of what child perspective means and lack of resources for work involving child perspective. Key words: child perspective, organisation, long term social assistance
