SUMMARY:RDV: Child welfare predictive risk models and legal decision making
DESCRIPTION:Child welfare agencies around the world have experimented with algorithmic predictive modeling as a method to assist in decision-making regarding foster child risk\, removal\, and placement. These models have attracted a great deal of controversy about the methods used to create them and the biases inherent in the data they have drawn from\, however\, proponents see them as a tool for improving decision-making and ultimately the safety of children at risk. Thus far\, all of the predictive models have been confined to the employees of the various child welfare agencies at the early removal stages and none have been used by attorneys in legal arguments or by judges in approving or denying removal decisions. Predictive models are regularly used in other courtroom settings and have been studied for how they affect decision-making in general. This is the first study to examine the effects of a child welfare predictive risk model on child welfare attorney and judge legal decision-making. Using vignettes based on actual disputed removal cases with the inclusion of a low\, medium\, or high child welfare predictive risk score\, attorney and judge legal decision-making can be changed by the inclusion of a predictive model risk score in ways that are important for the legal community to understand prior to the widespread use of any of these models in the courtroom.  \nAbout the speaker \nMatthew Trail\, JD worked for fifteen years as an attorney ad litem representing children in foster care\, with a focus on representing children with disabilities and mental health issues from trauma. He began his career at a legal aid office in Florida and then moved to Houston where he eventually became managing attorney for Disability Rights Texas’ foster team. In 2020\, Matthew joined the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods Behavioral Law section as a research fellow where he researches decision-making in foster care.  \nHow to participate: This will be a fully digital webinar\, so please join us on Zoom: https://uib.zoom.us/j/64627342832?pwd=j6ilRvHfnDIHE7whkYpRxnXmM8pJxa.1 \nMeeting ID: 646 2734 2832  Password: P59BHsL2  \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:Barnevernfrokost: TikTok Social Workers revolutionizing child protection
DESCRIPTION:Finnish social workers Maija Haapala and Camilla Jokela engage with the youth through TikTok\, translating the practicalities of child protection and social work\, and challenging official language into easily understandable TikTok videos. This innovative approach has brought national recognition\, making them known as a TikTok–Sossut (TikTok Social Workers). The goal of TikTok Social Workers is revolution in child protection\, meaning doing things differently\, being there in the social media where the young are and focusing on children’s rights and participation in their platform. Haapala and Jokela have been communicating on the social media platform TikTok for four years and have over 50k followers. In their presentation Haapala and Jokela are sharing their story how making TikToks started\, what is their goal and what kind of work have they done in TikTok\, aiming to courage all social workers to engage in social media and making child protection more understandable and less stigmatizing.  \nMaija Haapala is a licensed social worker with notable experience in child protection services. Her professional journey includes working as a social worker in child protection services at the City of Espoo. Currently\, she is working on her doctoral thesis at the University of Tampere concerning the emergency placements of young people and their impacts. Maija’s professional interest are in structural social work\, partnership with the children and the young and social impact in child protection.  \nCamilla Jokela is a licenced social worker and works full-time in the emergency social services of the wellbeing services county of Central Ostrobothnia (Soite). Jokela also works as a representative for children and young people who have come to Finland without a guardian. Camilla has worked with unaccompanied children in immigration services and child protection services. According to Jokela\, the focus of social work should be indivisible basic and human rights\, which are especially threatened in this time.  \n_________________________________________________________________________________ \n På denne utgaven av Barnevernfrokost vil Maija Haapala og Camilla Jokela diskutere hvordan de har brukt TikTok for å gjøre barnevernstema mer forståelige og mindre stigmatiserende.  \nDe finske sosialarbeiderne Maija Haapala og Camilla Jokela engasjerer seg med ungdommen gjennom TikTok\, og oversetter det praktiske innen barnevern og sosialt arbeid\, og oversetter offisielt språk til lett forståelige TikTok-videoer. Denne innovative tilnærmingen har brakt nasjonal anerkjennelse\, noe som gjør dem kjent som TikTok–Sossut (TikTok Social Workers). Målet til TikTok Social Workers er en revolusjon innen barnevern\, det vil si å gjøre ting annerledes\, være der i sosiale medier der de unge er og fokusere på barns rettigheter og deltakelse på deres plattform. Haapala og Jokela har kommunisert på den sosiale medieplattformen TikTok i fire år og har over 50 000 følgere. I sin presentasjon deler Haapala og Jokela sin historie om hvordan de begynte å lage TikToks\, hva målet deres er og hva slags arbeid de har gjort på TikTok\, med sikte på å oppmuntre alle sosialarbeidere til å engasjere seg i sosiale medier og gjøre barnevern mer forståelig og mindre stigmatiserende.   \nMaija Haapala er autorisert sosialarbeider med betydelig erfaring innen barnevernsarbeid. Hennes karriere inkluderer å jobbe som sosionom i barnevernet ved Espoo kommune. For tiden jobber hun med doktorgradsavhandlingen sin ved Universitetet i Tammerfors om akuttplasseringer av unge mennesker og deres konsekvenser. Maijas faglige interesse er strukturelt sosialt arbeid\, partnerskap med barna og de unge og sosial påvirkning i barnevernet.   \nCamilla Jokela er autorisert vernepleier og jobber heltid i sosialhjelpen i  Midt-Österbotten (Soite). Jokela jobber også som representant for barn og unge som har kommet til Finland uten verge. Camilla har jobbet med enslige barn i immigrasjonstjenester og barneverntjenester. Ifølge Jokela bør fokus for sosialt arbeid være udelelige og grunnleggende menneskerettigheter\, som er spesielt truet for tiden. \nHvordan delta på Barnevernfrokost \nFor å delta på webinaret klikker du lenken under og følger instruksjonene.

SUMMARY:RDV: Navigating institutional borders: young refugees’ access to post-15 education in Greece
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, Dr. Lucy Hunt addresses the social consequences of the refugee crisis in Greece\, and particularly how state responses to increased migration flows have shaped young refugees’ (aged 15–25) (re-)engagement with post-15 learning opportunities upon arrival in the country. It argues that three key ‘institutional bordering’ practices – namely\, the bordering of space (via encampment)\, time (via enforced waiting)\, and public services (via administrative barriers) – have played central roles in young refugees’ (re-)engagement with post-15 education; often causing their dreams to be diverted or downgraded. However\, with determination and the support of willing gatekeepers\, refugee youth found ways to (re)construct adapted learning trajectories despite\, and in response to\, these arrival challenges.  \nAbout the speakers \nDr. Lucy Hunt is a qualitative researcher at the University of Nottingham who holds degrees from the University of Oxford and KU Leuven. Her research specializes in the intersection of education\, migration\, and childhood/youth studies. Currently\, Dr. Hunt is developing the Hub for Education for Refugees in Europe at the University of Nottingham\, a platform aimed at fostering a network of researchers and practitioners committed to refugee education across Europe. \nHow to participate: This will be a fully digital webinar\, so please join us on Zoom: https://uib.zoom.us/j/63708238787?pwd=oIvBh7pI23PjyhbYxi9KaJdLJ7zxdL.1 \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:Barnevernfrokost: Praktisk juss i barnevernsstudiet – erfaringer fra HVL
DESCRIPTION:Barnevernet må ivareta en rekke juridiske forpliktelser i sitt arbeid\, og grunnlaget for dette legges i studiet. I fjor strøk nesten halvparten av masterstudentene i barnevern og barnevernsarbeid over hele landet – men på Høyskolen på Vestlandet sto alle studentene. Høyskolelektor og jurist Karen Reimers er ansvarlig for emnet Rettsanvendelse i barnevernsarbeid ved HVL\, og vil på denne utgaven av Barnevernfrokost fortelle om hvordan de har jobbet med trening i den juridiske metoden\, i tillegg til hva en kan forvente av jusskompetansen til fremtidige barnevernsarbeidere. Dette er høyst relevant kunnskap for de som forbereder studentene på fremtidig arbeidsliv\, de som skal ta imot disse studentene etter uteksaminasjon\, og de som vurderer å selv oppdatere sin jusskompetanse. Det blir\, som alltid\, tid til spørsmål. \nHvordan delta på Barnevernfrokost \nFor å delta på webinaret klikker du lenken under og følger instruksjonene. Vi anbefaler å laste ned Zoom-applikasjonen på forhånd. \nZoom-link: https://uib.zoom.us/j/61257829447?pwd=RFB1ZGd6Vyt5L2xhdzJGN3MyV2U3dz09 \nBarnevernfrokost er en åpen webinar-serie om barnevern og barns rettigheter.

SUMMARY:RDV: Traveling across disciplinary boundaries:  A journey into applying literary criticism to public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats
DESCRIPTION:Researchers in the social sciences\, including legal studies\, political science\, social work\, and sociology\, utilize specific\, discipline-based approaches to analyzing written texts\, including frequency counts of words and text segments and determining thematic patterns emerging from the data. This seminar\, with speakers Katrin Križ and Daniela Reimer and discussant Tarja Pösö\, aims to walk participants beyond the boundaries of these social science approaches by introducing the methods of literary criticism and reflecting on their methodological potential. What can social scientists learn from literary criticism methods for analyzing public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats? “Public-facing texts” are documents by street-level bureaucrats like child protection caseworkers\, judges\, teachers\, and police officers written for members of the public as part of public policy implementation. Examples of these texts in child protection are court judgments or university course curricula for future child protection caseworkers. This seminar explores how literary criticism methods could be valuable for systematically examining and interpreting these texts.  \nFirst\, Križ and Reimer will discuss literary criticism methods before reflecting on how social scientists could apply them. Second\, they will use their research about child protection-related court judgments by the European Court of Human Rights as an example. Lastly\, Križ and Reimer invite seminar participants to reflect on how these methods might be useful in their own research when studying public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats. You are invited to read this information about literary criticism if you want to learn more about it before the seminar (total reading time: 10 minutes):  \n\nLumen Learning. An introduction to literary criticism \nLumen Learning: Approaches to literary criticism \n\nAbout the Speakers  \nKatrin Križ is a Professor of Sociology at Emmanuel College (USA) and a research associate at the Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism (DIPA).  \nKriž has extensive competence in Social Policy\, Qualitative Social Research\, Sociological Theory\, Public Policy\, Family Studies and Child Welfare. Her research is focused on the role of professional discretion in decisions related to a child’s best interests and child welfare systems in an international context.  \nTogether with colleagues Frøydis Lønborg Haarberg\, Audun Gabriel Løvlie\, and Marit Skivenes at the University of Bergen\, Križ is working on the research project “Children’s Right to Participation”.  \nDaniela Reimer is a Professor at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences\, School of Social Work\, specializing in child and youth services\, family dynamics\, and foster care. Her research focuses on understanding the experiences of children in care\, particularly in transitions and identity formation.  \nReimer has conducted extensive studies on (foster) family cultures\, the interplay of normality and identity among young people in foster care\, and breakdowns within foster care systems. Currently\, she leads a qualitative longitudinal study exploring the experiences of young adults who have transitioned from foster care.  \nTarja Pösö is a Professor Emerita at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Tampere University (Finland) and Professor II at the Department of Government (University of Bergen).  \nPösö has extensive experience in the studies of child protection\, social work\, and institutional practices\, with a keen interest in cross-cultural perspectives and developing methods and ethics for child protection studies.  \nHer particular research interests are how social workers navigate among different sources of information and interest when making decisions and assessing the outcome of their decisions in child protection\,  the child welfare systems perceive and act with migrant children\, the principle of ‘the child’s best interest’ is included in the decision-making process.  \nHow to participate: At Jekteviksbakken 31 or via this Zoom link.  \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Exploring the intersection of food and family intervention policies in England: how are children included?
DESCRIPTION:In England\, a rhetoric of supporting ‘troubled families’ through policy interventions mushroomed during the New Labour years of the late 1990s. At this time\, early years settings became sites of particular interest in which to implement these policies\, seen as places where perceived deficiencies in the household could be addressed. This has led to an overlap of policy domains\, predominantly between early years education and family intervention\, yet also expanding into other areas. In this context\, children’s food policy is seen as an especially fruitful area for intervention\, where the aim of ‘improving children’s diets’ often seems to be interlaced with a concern for ‘improving parenting styles’.  \nBased on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in London between 2016 and 2017\, this paper explores what happens at the intersection of these different policy domains\, examining how particular framings of policy problems – and the solutions developed to address these problems – lead to contradictions and arbitrary results. Linking to wider discussions about the current early childhood education and care (ECEC) landscape in England\, the paper also asks to what extent are children’s viewpoints and experiences considered when interventions are developed\, and what can be gained when doing so in a meaningful way.   \nAbout the speaker \nFrancesca Vaghi is a Research Associate at the School of Social & Political Science at the University of Glasgow\, Scotland. She is currently conducting research on the work of contemporary NHS charities as part of the Border Crossings project: https://more.bham.ac.uk/border-crossings/border-crossings/projects/ \nFrancesca is interested in medical anthropology\, the anthropology of policy\, and childhood studies. She completed her PhD in 2019 at SOAS\, University of London. For her doctoral research\, Francesca conducted ethnographic fieldwork in a state-maintained nursery in London over a 12-month period\, developing a child-centred methodological approach to meaningfully involve children in research. Aside from investigating how children create self and peer identities through food and eating practices\, her work explores how children’s food policy fits into family intervention policies in the context of Britain’s mixed economy of welfare\, and how notions of ‘good food’ and ‘good parenting’ (particularly mothering) are interlinked. Her book\, Food Policy and Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care\, has just been published by Routledge. \nFrancesca is interested in advancing critical approaches in public health\, specifically looking at how dominant policy discourses (re)create and seek to address ‘problems’ that have particular implications for working class and ethnic minority families\, particularly in matters related to food insecurity\, childhood poverty\, and childcare policy. https://pureportal.strath.ac.uk/en/persons/francesca-vaghi (Guest researcher at DIPA from the 2nd of April–1st of May). \n  \nHow to participate: You can access the event via this Zoom link.  \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:Barnevernfrokost: Foreldreoppfølging etter omsorgsovertakelse i familievernet – et supplement til barneverntjenestens oppfølgingsansvar
DESCRIPTION:Det er flere grunner til at foreldre bør følges opp etter en omsorgsovertakelse. Foreldre har ofte omfattende behov for hjelp\, og hjelpebehovene forsterkes ofte etter at barna blir plassert. I tillegg kan mange barn bekymre seg for hvordan foreldrene har det og som en følge av det ha vansker med å slå seg til ro med plasseringen. Foreldre som er fratatt omsorgen for egne barn\, har vært fokusert lite på i hjelpeapparatet. Mange foreldre beskriver tett oppfølging frem til omsorgsovertagelsen\, men at de i etterkant står igjen alene fordi hjelpen følger barnet. I tillegg opplever mange at samarbeidet mellom barnevern og foreldre er svært utfordrende\, da det blir vanskelig å ta imot hjelp fra den samme instansen som initierte omsorgovertakelsen. \nSom et supplement til barneverntjenestens oppfølging\, fikk familievernet i 2015 i oppdrag å tilby foreldreoppfølging etter omsorgsovertagelse. Det ble etablert et eget Spisskompetansemiljø som arbeider med å sikre kunnskapsgrunnlag\, fagutvikling og implementering av kunnskapsbasert og likeverdig tilbud ved alle landets familievernkontor.  Målsetningen med tilbudet er å hjelpe foreldre å mestre livene sine etter en omsorgsovertagelse\, bearbeide vanskelige følelser og tilpasse seg en ny rolle som samværsforeldre. Foreldre som har benyttet seg av familievernets tilbud sier de er godt fornøyde med den hjelpen de har mottatt. Til tross for et uttrykt behov et slik tilbud\, er det få som benytter seg av familievernets oppfølging. Det jobbes derfor stadig med rekruttering og gjøre tilbudet bedre kjent for foreldrene\, barneverntjenesten og øvrige samarbeidspartnere\, slik at hjelpen blir tilgjengelig for de som trenger den. \nPå denne utgaven av Barnevernfrokost kommer klinisk spesialist Janne Vinkler Rasmussen og kollega fra familievernets spisskompetansemiljø på foreldreoppfølging etter omsorgsovertakelse for å dele fra bakgrunnen til tilbudet og kunnskapsgrunnlaget som ligger bak\, informere om tilbudet de har\, innholdet i tilbudet og foreldrestemmene. \n  \nHvordan delta på Barnevernfrokost \nFor å delta på webinaret klikker du lenken under og følger instruksjonene.

SUMMARY:RDV: Effects of lawfare: Criminalization of abortion in Peru
DESCRIPTION:How does the criminalization of abortion impact women?\nTherapeutic abortion has been decriminalised in Peru since 1924\, but it was only in 2014 that a protocol was approved to guarantee access to the procedure. However\, in 100 years\, no additional grounds have been legalised\, resulting in thousands of women and pregnant people being prosecuted for the crime of abortion. In this seminar Carolina Neyra analyses the impact of criminalization of abortion and other obstetric events on the human rights of women and pregnant people in Peru.\nThe seminar is based on a national study which is part of a regional report on the criminalisation of women and pregnant people for the crime of abortion in seven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\nCarolina Neyra is a lawyer who graduated with honours from the Universidad del Pacífico in Lima\, Peru. In 2019\, she completed an internship at the Merits Unit of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. She has also participated in research projects on the rights of LGTBIQ+ people in Peru\, as well as in the development of public policies focused on gender equality and the eradication of gender-based violence. In 2019\, she participated in the course “Effects of Lawfare” at the Bergen Exchanges on Law & Social Transformation.\n\n  \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or Zoom.  \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: The Development of Personal Identity Rights at the European Court of Human Rights: whose rights and what is achieved?
DESCRIPTION:The Development of Personal Identity Rights at the European Court of Human Rights: whose rights and what is achieved?  \nBy reference to applied philosophy and case law\, Jill Marshall explores how human rights law\, and particularly the European Court of Human Rights (the Court)\, has developed and interpreted a right to personal identity\, largely arising from a right to respect for one’s private life – see J Marshall: Personal Freedom Through Human Rights Law? (2009); Human Rights Law and Personal Identity (2014) and Personal Identity and the European Court of Human Rights (2022). This paper continues Marshall’s analysis by reference to the Court’s case law\, concentrating on more recent cases. The paper interrogates the development of these rights analysing whose rights have been protected and what role human rights law plays in the formation\, and protection\, of permissible personal identities\, asking and suggesting some responses to what has been\, and could be\, achieved. Marshall’s analysis includes cases on Islamic headscarves\, secret births\, and intercultural adoption. \nShort Author Biography:  \nProfessor Jill Marshall\, Professor of Law\, Department of Law and Criminology\, Royal Holloway University of London co-directs the interdisciplinary Centre for the Study of Emotion and Law (CSEL). She also leads the Rights and Freedoms research cluster and postgraduate research within her department. She is a qualified lawyer. Her work focuses on the relationship between law and living well\, human flourishing\, what it means to be free\, with a focus on girls’ and women’s human rights. She has written widely on these topics and is the author of three books and one edited collection. Current projects include conceptually distinguishing pregnancy and giving birth from motherhood\, baby boxes and secret births\, deception and identity in the metaverse\, and freedom of religion\, expression\, and identity through dress. \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or Zoom.  \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: The cost of caring: the professional quality of life of child social workers
DESCRIPTION:The cost of caring: the professional quality of life of child social workers (Camille Verheyden\, Frank Van Holen\, Stephanie Chartier & Johan Vanderfaeillie) \nSeveral international studies show that child social workers are at increased risk of developing burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Causes are: working daily with vulnerable children and families\, confronting others’ traumas\, the many demands and challenges of the job and\, the high workload. In addition\, the sector is currently struggling with high dropout rates and staff turnover. This context forms a threat to the professional quality of life of child social workers resulting in negative consequences for the child social workers themselves\, the persons they accompany and the organisations where they are employed. To date\, there are few results available on the professional quality of life (burnout\, secondary traumatic stress\, compassion satisfaction) of child social workers in Europe and there are none for Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia) so far. To gain insight into this\, we investigated the professional quality of life of child social workers in Flanders and Wallonia. Camille Verheyden and Johan Vanderfaeillie will share their preliminary findings from their study. \nCamille Verheyden is a PhD-student at the Department Psychology\, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences\, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Her research focuses on family foster care \, child abuse and neglect\, and the professional quality of life of youth care professionals. https://researchportal.vub.be/en/persons/camille-verheyden \nJohan Vanderfaeillie is a Professor at the Department Psychology\, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences\, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He is doing research into child welfare issues\, with foster care and child maltreatment as core subjects. He studies all kinds of issues regarding foster care: breakdown\, reunification\, decision making in foster care and interventions for foster parents. In addition\, he also studies the short- and long-term outcomes of foster placements. His research into child maltreatment focuses on the detection and reporting of child abuse and neglect\, and the outcomes of interventions aiming at preventing child abuse and neglect. https://researchportal.vub.be/en/persons/johan-vanderfaeillie \n\n  \nHow to participate:  At Christies gate 17\, Styrerommet (rom 17.103 ) or digitally via Zoom. \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:Barnevernfrokost: Fosterhjemsundersøkelsen 2023 - Hva sier stemmene fra fosterhjemmene om hva som skal til for stabilitet og bedre rekruttering?
DESCRIPTION:Norge er inne i en fosterhjemskrise! Det er stor mangel på fosterhjem. Barn står i kø for å få et trygt hjem. Fosterhjemsomsorgen er grunnmuren i barneverntjenesten. 9 av 10 barn som av ulike grunner ikke kan bo hjemme med sine foreldre\, bor i fosterhjem. Alle parter ønsker at disse barna skal bo i fosterhjem\, framfor på institusjon\, men det er vanskelig å rekruttere mange nok godkjente fosterhjem. Det er et sammensatt bilde av hvorfor vi er kommet i denne situasjonen\, – at barn lever under omsorgssvikt og de ikke får rett hjelp til rett tid. Dette er alvorlig! \nFosterhjemsundersøkelsen er et foto av virkeligheten slik den fortonet seg når over 1500 fosterforeldre og 260 ungdommer som bor i fosterhjem\, med sine brukererfaringer\, ga oss denne viktige kunnskapen. \nHvordan delta på Barnevernfrokost \nFor å delta på webinaret klikker du lenken under og følger instruksjonene. Vi anbefaler å laste ned Zoom-applikasjonen på forhånd. \nhttps://uib.zoom.us/j/65269645571?pwd=Ym5BcVBWdU9iRS9VN2hhaFZIUmtWZz09   \nBarnevernfrokost er en åpen webinar-serie om barnevern og barns rettigheter.

SUMMARY:RDV: Abolition of child protection - The ultimate denial of child rights
DESCRIPTION:In the early 2000s the main narrative in the field of child welfare was an optimistic one. It was believed that families could become stronger if they received help in the form of economic and social support. Child welfare professionals could work together with parents in a respectful\, generous\, and culturally sensitive way. It was also believed that parents could change for the better if they were offered a restorative\, healing approach rather than a strict\, punitive response. This approach was meant to be more helpful and supportive to families. \nAlthough there are many who still share this view\, there is also a growing condemnation of child welfare. Some view\, everything about child welfare as wrong\, counter-productive – even a violation of human rights. What’s even more worrying is that the abolitionist viewpoint makes an important error trying to find simple solutions for a very complex issue\, namely\, how to keep kids safe and their families healthy and stable within the context of the flawed national history in the US related to poverty and race. Just as the child welfare field once relied too heavily on family separation\, the abolition school of thought would rid the US of its legally mandated obligation to child safety. \nThe child welfare system in the US has had decades of attempts toward reform\, however the reforms have not gone far enough\, nor have they had the widespread or deep effects that many of us want to see. Still\, if we are going to abandon the current child welfare system\, we must address some of the critical questions that have escaped the profession for decades and helped to drive the call for its end. \nJoin us for a thought-provoking seminar that delves into the pressing issues surrounding child welfare today! \nJill D. Berrick is a Distinguished Professor and the Zellerbach Family Foundation Professor of Social Welfare\, UC Berkeley\, and Professor II at the Department of Government\, University of Bergen. Her research focuses on the child welfare system and efforts to improve the experiences of children and families touched by foster care. Her interests target the intersection of poverty\, childhood development\, parenting and the service systems designed to address family well-being. For over three decades Dr. Berrick has conducted a range of studies examining child welfare services for vulnerable families. She has written or co-written 112 books and numerous articles on topics relating to family poverty\, child maltreatment and child welfare. https://socialwelfare.berkeley.edu/people/jill-duerr-berrick \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or Zoom.  \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue (Roberto Gargarella)
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to our RDV seminar with Professor Roberto Gargarella. He will present the new project he is awarded by the European Research Council (ERC Advanced Grant): “Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue». The project aims to make constitutionalism more sensitive to growing democratic demands\, by offering concrete institutional alternatives to channel the demands of democracy and engage with activists and members of civil society\, from a conception of democracy as a “conversation between equals”. The project stems from the deep crisis affecting constitutional democracies around the world and manifests itself both in a growing lack of confidence in constitutionalism and in an increase in citizens’ dissatisfaction with democracy. The ultimate goal is to design institutional proposals that are both respectful of individual rights and the decisions resulting from democratic dialogue. \nRoberto Gargarella\, a full professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Buenos Aires\, teaches at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella in Argentina\, and is the director of the “Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue» project at the Department of Law at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. https://www.biennaldepensament.barcelona/en/participants/roberto-gargarella \n  \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or zoom.  \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Child participation and child protection: lessons from international research (Aoife Daly)
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to our RDV seminar with Professor Aoife Daly. She will give a talk on a paper which is based on her book “Children\, Autonomy and the Courts: Beyond the Right to be Heard“.  This paper is concerned with the influence of children on decisions affecting them. It appears that the right to be heard under Article 12 of the UN convention on the rights of the child has brought some positive change in terms of children simply feeling heard. It is not all about outcomes – the perception of being listened to\, of being taken seriously\, is undoubtedly good for children: I think the judge kind of listened to me in the end.  There is evidence that the right to be heard has encouraged an attitude shift when it comes to hearing children and valuing their views – there is a sense that children should be heard\, at least in some circumstances. Yet there is little point hearing children if their wishes are unlikely to make any difference to outcomes. Indeed Article 12 of the CRC says that children’s views must be given due weight\, which implies some level of influence. What does international research demonstrate in terms of the influence of children’s wishes and child protection proceedings in courts? This paper presents research in this area\, and findings point to inconsistent\, confusing and illogical approaches by the courts to children’s wishes. The reasons for this are considered in this paper. It is emphasised that courts refuse to accept that there is a limited ability to ensure a ‘good’ outcome. This is to the detriment of a good process\, one which prioritises children’s wishes. Courts also think that they are acting as benevolent parents when they impose best interest determinations\, which is mistaken as courts are representatives of the state (and therefore have the threat of force behind them). It is also mistaken because families do not always operate in a ‘parents say\, children do’ It is argued that there is a risk that the Article 12 right to be heard\, and its lack of influence for children in reality\, in fact works to uphold traditional power dynamics. The state wins because children’s wishes can be overridden when they incline against state authorities\, or prevailing beliefs such as ‘contact at all costs.’ It seems that children’s wishes within the ‘right to be heard’ framework are least effective where they are needed the most – where those wishes incline against adults\, and particularly where they incline against the status quo. The question of whether a focus on autonomy would shift this influence gap will be posed. \nAoife Daly teaches law\, and specialises in human rights law. Aoife’s research focuses on human rights based approaches and children’s rights in areas which include environmental rights\, climate activism\, and access to justice. She is at present researching children/youth and how their environmental activism is impacting human rights law. In 2023 she secured a European Research Council Consolidator Grant to build a team to carry out a large scale research study on child/youth climate justice-inside and outside the courts-around the world.

SUMMARY:RDV: Analysis or paralysis? Monitory mechanisms for child protection services in Ireland (Kenneth Burns)
DESCRIPTION:Child protection and welfare systems are one essential part of a nation state’s approach to protecting and promoting the welfare of children. Keane (2022) argues that we are in a new phase of democracy called ‘monitory democracy’. In this phase\, democratic systems develop power scrutinising mechanisms and institutions that focus on public accountability and governance\, with this ‘monitoring’ work being undertaken by government institutions and civil society actors. As child protection and welfare systems are entrusted with significant power by governments\, they are a significant focus of such monitoring. \nThe focus of this paper is to examine the strategies and mechanisms adopted by Ireland to monitor the operation\, quality and development of its child protection and welfare system. In using the term monitor/monitory\, the focus of analysis will be on the Irish system of governance\, oversight and monitoring of state-provided child protection and welfare services. \nKenneth Burns  is a senior lecturer\, Deputy Director of the Master of Social Work course and Director of Practice (social work) at University College Cork. He has worked as a social worker and social work team leader in child protection and welfare. His main research and teaching interests are in child protection policy and practice\, staff retention\, social media abuse in social work\, child care proceedings in the District Court / voluntary care / informal kinship care\, and community-based participatory research. http://research.ucc.ie/profiles/A012/kburns \nHow to participate: At Jekteviksbakken 31 or digitally via Zoom. \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:Book launch: Adoption from Care
DESCRIPTION:International Perspectives on Children’s Rights\, Family Preservation and State Intervention\nWelcome to the launch of “Adoption from Care: International Perspectives on Children’s Rights\, Family Preservation and State Intervention” edited by Tarja Pösö (Tampere University)\, Marit Skivenes (UiB)\, and June Thoburn (University of East Anglia). \nThis book explores how children’s rights are practiced and weighed against birth and adoptive parents’ rights and examines how governments and professionals balance rights when it is decided that children cannot return to parental care. \nFrom different socio-political and legal contexts in Europe and the United States\, it provides an in-depth analysis of concepts of family\, contact\, the child’s best-interest principle and human rights when children are adopted from care. \nAt the book launch\, the editors and chapter authors will present some of the highlights from the book\, and engage in discussions on implications for policy and professional practices. \nParticipants\n\nMarit Skivenes\, professor\, University of Bergen\nJune Thoburn\, emeritus professor\, University of East Anglia\nTarja Pösö\, professor\, Tampere University\nJill Berrick\, professor\, UC Berkeley\nJesús Palacios\, professor\, University of Seville\nKenneth Burns\, senior lecturer\, University College Cork\nLene Printzlau Våmartveit\, chair\, the Norwegian Foster Home Association\n\n*** \nThe launch is organized in collaboration with Centre on Law and Social Transformation and Bergen Global.  \nhttps://uib.zoom.us/j/68955108149?pwd=ajJ3aXdDQXdaRUxVMm1PZlYvaUN4dz09

SUMMARY:Webinar: Protecting Children\, Creating Citizens
DESCRIPTION:Child participation is one of the core principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The Convention asserts that children and young people have the right to freely express their views and that there is an obligation to listen to children’s views and to facilitate their participation in all matters affecting them within their families\, schools\, public services\, institutions\, government policies and judicial procedures. Although the Convention on the Rights of the Child recently celebrated its 30th anniversary\, there is still a way to go on securing children’s right to participation. What does research tell us about what inhibits and promotes children’s participation? And how can we ensure that the child’s needs and preferences are emphasized in decision-making and policy processes? \nKeynote: Protecting Children\, Creating Citizens: Participatory Child Protection Practice by Professor Katrin Kriz (Emmanuel College\, US). \nProfessor Katrin Kriz is an expert on child welfare systems in an international context\, and the author of a forthcoming book about participatory child protection practice in Norway and the United States. \nShort presentations: Perspectives on children’s right to participation \nCaroline and Mathilde (Pro’s at The Change Factory – Experts by Experience\, Norway)\, Marthe Sleire Engedahl (UNICEF\, Norway)\, Marit Skivenes (Professor at the University of Bergen\, Discretion Director)\, Katre Luhamaa (University of Tartu). \nDiscussion \n  \nPractical information \nZoom link will be provided at the event page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/792429594858236/ \nThis event is part of the Bergen Exchanges 2020: https://www.lawtransform.no/events/ \n  \nPHOTO: Colourbox

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Omsorgsovertakelser av nyfødte rett fra klinikken
DESCRIPTION:BARNEVERNVAKTENS FAGFROKOST: \n«Omsorgsovertakelser av nyfødte rett fra klinikken» \nIda B. Juhasz\nStipendiat ved Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism\,\nInstitutt for administrasjon og organisasjonsvitenskap\, UiB \nHvert år blir flere titalls nyfødte plassert i fosterhjem rett fra fødeklinikken\, og en påfølgende sak om omsorgsovertakelse finner sted. Dette er et sterkt statlig inngrep i familielivet i en særlig sårbar og usikker fase.  Likevel har vi liten systematisk kunnskap om disse alvorlige sakene. Ida Juhasz er sosiolog og stipendiat ved Universitetet i Bergen. I sitt doktorgradsprosjekt analyserer hun vedtak fra Fylkesnemnda etter Barnevernlovens §4-8/§4-12\, og utforsker beslutningsgrunnlaget og skjønnsrommet i saker om omsorgsovertakelser av nyfødte. Hvordan begrunnes og rettferdiggjøres vedtakene i slike komplekse og usikre barnevernssaker? Hvordan fatter man beslutninger som i stor grad er fremtidsvurderinger om barnets beste? Og hva forteller dette oss om hvem som blir vurdert til å ikke være gode nok foreldre? \n  \nFagfrokosten arrangeres av Barnevernvakten i Bergen kommune. Påmelding via: fagfrokost@bergen.kommune.no

SUMMARY:The Child’s Perspective in Court: Can we do better?
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child recently celebrated its 30th anniversary\, and although much has been achieved in the last three decades\, there is still work to do. Procedures affecting children are not as child-centric as they should be\, the child’s right to be heard is not taken seriously enough\, and the child’s perspective appears to be missing in much of the decision-making concerning children. \nThe European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) frequently deals with cases directly impacting on the lives and rights of children\, without the children playing a direct and active role in the proceedings. Children\, it seems\, are incidental to a dispute between parents and the state concerning parental rights. Similarly\, discussions in the media are often framed in terms of parents vs. the state\, with the subject of the disagreement – the child – given little or no voice. \nChildren are not independently represented in these cases and thus the child’s perspective is too often left out. Especially very young children who cannot yet make full use of their right to be heard in matters concerning them\, are absent in decisions that will have significant consequences for their lives. \nHow can we succeed in including the child and her perspective more fully – both in the ECtHR and in national courts? How do we ensure that the child’s particular needs\, preferences and personality are emphasised and given due weight in the decision-making process \nAbout the Event\nWe are pleased to announce Nuala Mole from The AIRE Centre in London as our keynote speaker for this event. Nuala is one of Europe’s most prominent human rights lawyers\, and a leading actor within the field of human rights. Nuala will talk about her experience as part of the legal team in human and child rights cases before the ECtHR\, and will provide her professional insight into how children feature in these cases. The AIRE Centre (Advice on Individual Rights in Europe) has recently acted as intervening party in the case of Strand Lobben v Norway in the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR. \nThe keynote will be followed by a panel discussion and questions from the audience. We are looking forward to an interesting event and a lively discussion! \n\nKeynote: Nuala Mole\, Senior Lawyer / Founder\, The AIRE Centre: “Children at the European Court of Human Rights”\nPanel participants: Marit Skivenes (Professor\, Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism)\, Lise Søreide (District Court Judge\, Bergen tingrett)\nModerator: Jenny Krutzinna (Senior Researcher\, Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism)\n\nOrganizers are Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism\, in collaboration with Centre on Law and Social Transformation.

SUMMARY:Norsk barnevern i menneskerettighetsdomstolen
DESCRIPTION:Den europeiske menneskerettighetsdomstolen slo nylig fast at Norge har krenket retten til familieliv i en sak om tvangsadopsjon av et barnevernsbarn. Flertallet i domstolens storkammer dømte i favør av den biologiske moren i den mye omtalte Lobben-saken. \nNærmere 30 norske barnevernssaker er tatt til behandling i menneskerettsdomstolen fra desember 2015 og fram til i dag. Dette er et langt høyere antall saker enn noe annet land. Samtidig rangeres Norge høyt på internasjonale indikatorer for barns rettigheter og velferd\, og det norske rettssystemet er ansett for å holde en høy standard når det kommer til rettssikkerhet. \nHva er årsaken til den internasjonale granskningen av det norske barnevernssystemet? Hvordan ivaretar norske myndigheter barns rettigheter sammenlignet med andre land? Og hvilke konsekvenser vil dommene fra Den europeiske menneskerettighetsdomstol ha for det norske barnevernssystemet og for barns rettigheter i Europa? \nProgram \nIntroduksjonsforedrag \n\nJill Berrick\, UC Berkeley: “Child Protection Systems Across the World”\nKatre Luhamaa\, UiB: “Children’s Rights in The European Court of Human Rights”\n\nPanelsamtale \n\nKarl Harald Søvig\, UiB\nAnders Henriksen\, Bufdir (Barne-\, ungdoms- og familiedirektoratet)\nTorstein Røed\, Fylkesnemndene for barnevern og sosiale saker\n\nModerator: Marit Skivenes (UiB) \nOm arrangementet \nGratis adgang for publikum. Ingen registrering nødvendig. Arrangementet vil bli hold på norsk\, med unntak av introduksjonsforedragene. \nArrangør er Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism (UiB)\, i samarbeid med Centre on Law and Social Transformation (UiB/CMI).

SUMMARY:Conservative Backlash in Europe
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday 14th March\nTime:16:00-18:00\nPlace: Bergen Global\, Jekteviksbakken 31 \nIn recent years\, Europe has seen strong conservative mobilization against abortion\, LGBT-rights and child protection services. Through the Internet\, intensive lobbying and funding from abroad\, these movements are gaining new ground – is the seemingly well-established right of abortion under threat in Europe? What are the driving forces behind this mobilization and is there a conservative network driving the movements? \nIn this seminar we will screen the documentary “Abortion: Backlash in Europe” which focuses on the European pro-life movements and the methods and arguments that these groups use. The screening will be followed by a conversation between Neil Datta\, Barbara Ruiken and Siri Gloppen\, in which they explore the links between the networks driving anti-abortion\, anti-LGBT and anti-child protection service mobilization. \nThe event is free and open to all. Coffee and snacks will be served. Organized by Centre on Law and Social Tranformation. \n\nNeil Datta is the Secretary of the European Parliamentary Forum on Population and Development\, a network of parliamentarians from across Europe who are committed to protecting sexual and reproductive health and rights. He has nearly twenty years’ experience in the field of political involvement in population and development\, and has conducted in-depth research on anti-choice activity in Europe. He is part of the LawTransform based research project on Sexual and Reproductive Rights Lawfare: Global Battles.\nBarbara Ruiken is a scientific assistant at the Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism at the Department of Administration and Organisation Theory. She holds a master’s degree in Administration and Organisation Theory and works mainly on the projects Discretion and the Child’s Best Interest and The Acceptability of Child Protection Interventions.\nSiri Gloppen is the Director of LawTransform and professor of Comparative Politics (UiB). She heads the research projects (supported by the Norwegian Research Council) on Sexual and Reproductive Rights Lawfare: Global Battles; and Political Determinants of Sexual and Reproductive Health\, where the conservative networks and their influence in different parts of the world is part of the dynamics under study.\n\n

SUMMARY:Adopsjon som barnevernstiltak - lansering av forskningsrapport
DESCRIPTION:Forskning tyder på at det går bedre med barn som blir adoptert enn de som forblir i fosterhjem. Til tross for det\, er det få saker med adopsjon som barnevernstiltak i Norge. \nForskningsprosjektet «Adopsjon som barnevernstiltak» har på oppdrag fra Bufdir sett nærmere på: \n\nHva kjennetegner adopsjonssakene i barnevernet\, inkludert sakene som er gått til Høyesterett og Den europeiske menneskerettsdomstolen?\nHva er utfordringene for økt bruk av adopsjon som barneverntiltak?\nHva kan bidra til at barnevernet vurderer adopsjon som barnevernstiltak på et tidligere tidspunkt?\n\nBufdir inviterer til lanseringen av forskningsprosjektet\, der UiB skal presentere sentrale funn. I tillegg til at organisasjoner på feltet skal presentere sine innspill knyttet økt bruk av adopsjon som barnevernstiltak. \nForeløpig program:\n08:30 – 09:00: Dørene åpnes – servering av rundstykker\, kaffe og te\n09:00 – 09:15: Innledning ved Mari Trommald\, direktør i Bufdir\n09:15 – 10:15: Presentasjon av funn ved UiB – Marit Skivenes og Hege Stein Helland\n10:15 – 10:30: Pause\n10:30 – 11:00: Innlegg fra:\n– Landsforeningen for barnevernsbarn ved leder Vilde Adolfsen\n– Norsk fosterhjemsforening ved styreleder Lene P.
