Barnskyddsarbete i idrottsmiljöer : En intervjustudie om skolans och föreningars hantering av situationer där barn far illa

Sammanfattning: Considering the institution of the Convention on the rights of the Child as Swedish law (Regeringskansliet, 2020), now, more than ever, the importance for children to exist and strivein safe environments is highlighted in society. In light of reports on lacking implementation of child rights policies in sport context, this study aimed to contribute with knowledge of schools and sport clubs’ child protection work, to discover how the organizations manage situations where children get hurt. From interviewing physical education teachers from four elementary schools and administrative personnel, board members and sports directors from three sport clubs, a thematic analysis was conducted. The results consisted of three themes of managing: conversing, reporting, and acting. I discuss implications for schools and sport clubs and offer some recommendations based on the current results. I also make suggestions for future research.
