Barnevernfrokost: Barns medvirkning
2021-04-14 09:00 - 09:45
Hvordan kan man ivareta barns rett til å bli hørt i barnevernssaker?
Barnekonvensjonens artikkel 12 slår fast at barn har rett til å gi uttrykk for sine synspunkter i saker som berører dem, og at barnets synspunkter skal tillegges behørig vekt i samsvar med dets alder og modenhet. Men hvordan håndteres denne forpliktelsen i følge forskning innen barnevern? Og hva innebærer denne rettigheten for utøvelsen av profesjonell praksis i barnevernet? Asgeir Falch-Eriksen er statsviter med barns rettigheter og barnevern som sitt spesialfelt. Han har deltatt i flere studier av barns medvirkning, og vil i dette foredraget forsøke å besvare disse to sentrale spørsmålene.
Innleder: Asgeir Falch-Eriksen, Seniorforsker ved NOVA – OsloMet, og Førsteamanuensis II ved Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism, UiB.

2021-06-01 09:00 - 09:45
Hvilke konsekvenser vil dommene fra Strasbourg få for det norske barnevernet?
Den europeiske menneskerettighets-domstolen har tatt inn et rekordstort antall norske barnevernssaker til behandling. I flere dommer konkluderes det med at Norge har krenket retten til respekt for privatliv og familieliv. Men hva sier egentlig domstolen om den norske praksisen i barnevernssaker? Og hvilke implikasjoner vil det få i barnevernssystemet på kort og lang sikt?
Karl Harald Søvig er professor og dekan ved Det juridiske fakultet, UiB. Han er blant landets ledende eksperter på barns rettigheter, og har gjennomført flere analyser av avgjørelser fra EMD i saker om vern av privat- og familieliv.

Barnevernfrokost: Musikkterapi i barnevernet
2021-06-23 09:00 - 09:45
Kan musikk hjelpe barn og unge som har en vanskelig oppvekst?
Mange unge i barnevernet har psykiske vansker og opplever utfordringer knyttet til tillitt, identitet, deltakelse og trygghet. Kostnadene ved manglende forebygging er store, både for det enkelte barnet og for samfunnet. I flere kommuner har man tatt i bruk musikkterapi som et verktøy for å fremme trivsel og sikre barns rett til å bli sett, hørt og forstått. Kan musikk være et verktøy som gjør unge i barnevernet bedre rustet til å takle hverdagen?
Viggo Krüger er førsteamanuensis og leder for Griegakademiets senter for musikkterapiforsking, UiB. Han har studert bruk av musikk som terapi for barn og unge, og fulgt unge i barnevernet over flere år som del av sin forskning.

2021-10-22 09:00 - 09:45
Samtaleprosess er en meklingsliknende prosess i saker for fylkesnemndene. Formålet er å «bedre partenes kommunikasjon og gi dem mulighet til å bli enige om løsninger til barnets beste som hel eller delvis løsning på saken» (barnevernloven § 7-25). Hvorfor er det behov for samtaleprosess? Kunne en del av sakene som løses med denne metoden vært løst i barneverntjenesten? Hva er det en samtaleprosess tilfører barnevernssakene?
Camilla Bernt er Professor ved Det juridiske fakultet, UiB. Hun er leder for forskergruppen for sivilprosess og konfliktløsning. Hennes forskningsområder er særlig knyttet til mekling, barnerett og god forvaltningsskikk.

Barnevernfrokost: Barneavhør og bruk av interaktive avatarer
2021-11-05 09:00 - 09:45
Kvalitet i intervju er avgjørende for at barn som er utsatt for omsorgssvikt, eller potensielt vold og overgrep, får anledning til å fortelle fritt og upåvirket om det de har opplevd/blitt utsatt for. Imidlertid viser både nasjonal og internasjonal forskning at det er vanskelig å opprettholde kvalitet over tid i intervju av barn til tross for at det investeres store ressurser i opplæring i samtale- og avhørsmetodikk. Hvordan kan kunstig intelligens og interaktive avatarer være nyttige verktøy for ferdighetstrening i barnevernstjenesten og blant politiansatte som skal gjennomføre slike intervjuer?
Gunn Astrid Baugerud er Førsteamanuensis ved Institutt for sosialfag ved OsloMet. Hun har bakgrunn fra kognitiv utviklingspsykologi og forskningen hennes fokuserer på barn utsatt for mishandling, barn som ofre og vitner, og kvalitative intervju med barn i sårbare situasjoner. Hun leder forskningsprosjektet “Samtaletrening ved hjelp av barneavatar for barnevern- og politiansatte som intervjuer barn utsatt for overgrep og omsorgssvikt.

Barnevernfrokost: Dansk barnevernlovgivning - Barnets Lov og "Børnene Først"
2021-12-03 09:00 - 09:45
I mai 2021 inngikk den danske regjeringen sammen med et bredt flertall i det danske folketinget en avtale som skal hjelpe utsatte barn og familier tidligere og bedre enn i dag. Blant annet skal avtalen sikre barn bedre rettigheter gjennom nye lovarbeider, sikre bedre kvalitet i omsorgsovertakelser, og gi færre skift og mer stabilitet. Hva betyr disse endringene i praksis og hvilke fordeler og ulemper medfører avtalen for utsatte barn og deres familier, samt for beslutningstakere i barneverntjenesten?
Karina Rohrberg Jessen er barnesakkyndig dommer ved Domstolsstyrelsen i Danmark. Hun nærgående kjennskap til dansk barnevern og har blant annet utgitt lærebok om tidlig innsats ved omsorgssvikt.

Foreldreveiledning har allerede vist seg å være et effektivt verktøy for å hjelpe foreldre til å utvikle gode foreldreferdigheter. Likevel vet vi lite om foreldreveiledningen er tilpasset godt nok og hvordan det påvirker foreldreomsorgen for familier med flykning eller annen minoritetsbakgrunn. I introduksjonsprogrammet er foreldreveiledning obligatorisk og ulike veiledningsprogram brukes som tiltak i barnevernet. For å kunne drive kunnskapsbaserte og likeverdige tjenester må forskning prioriteres.
Ragnhild Bjørknes er Professor ved HEMIL-senteret, Universitetet i Bergen. Hun har lang erfaring med forskning på foreldreveiledningsprogram for minoritetsfamilier. Presentasjonen vil belyse ulike forskningsstudier og implikasjoner for praksis.

Barnevernfrokost: Fra barnets beste til gjenforening som overordnet mål for barnevernstiltak etter omsorgsovertakelse? (Christian Børge Sørensen)
2022-02-18 09:00 - 09:45
Siden høsten 2018 er Norge hittil dømt i Den europeiske menneskerettighetsdomstol for å ha krenket retten til familieliv i 14 barnevernssaker. Dette har ført til endringer i norsk barnevernsrett og praksis, ved økte krav til den nasjonale saksbehandlingen. Tema for Sørensens foredrag er det materielle/innholdsmessige; nemlig hvordan det rettslige gjenforeningsmålet i Den europeiske menneskerettighetskonvensjonen har fått langt større betydning for barnevernstiltak etter omsorgovertakelse. Sørensen stiller spørsmål ved om pendelen kan gå for langt i retning av å ivareta familiens enhet, og gir noen tanker om hvordan en mer rettighetsbasert tilnærming til barnets beste kan fremme en mer balansert avveiing mellom kryssende rettigheter og hensyn.
Foredraget bygger videre på analyser i Sørensens artikkel «Langvarige fosterhjemsplasseringer og forholdsmessighetskravet i EMK art. 8», inntatt i Lov og Rett 2020 s. 103-122.
Christian Børge Sørensen er Fylkesnemndsleder for barnevern og sosiale saker i Rogaland og har tidligere vært ansatt som førsteamanuensis ved Institutt for sosialfag, Det samfunnsvitenskapelige fakultet (Universitetet i Stavanger).

Barnevernfrokost: Barneverntjenestens egne betraktninger rundt gjenforeningsmålsettingen (Kjersti Sandanger og Berit Jacobsen)
2022-03-11 09:00 - 09:45
Barneverntjenestens egne betraktninger rundt gjenforeningsmålsettingen
Etter flere dommer i Den europeiske menneskerettighetsdomstolen de siste årene står barneverntjenesten i Norge overfor flere dilemmaer knyttet til gjenforeningsformålet etter omsorgsovertakelser. Blant annet innebærer dette utfordrende vurderinger knyttet til biologisk families rett til samvær og avveininger mot hensynet til barnets beste. Hvordan reflekterer barneverntjenesten selv over disse dilemmaene og hva påvirker beslutningene som tas? I dette foredraget vil Kjersti Sandanger belyse flere komplekse problemstillinger tjenesten står overfor knyttet til gjenforeningsmålsettingen og reiser to grunnleggende, reflekterende spørsmål: gjør vi det vi kan, og for hvem?
Kjersti Sandanger er barnevernleder i Sola kommune og styremedlem i NOBO – Norsk barnevernlederorganisasjon.

Barnevernfrokost: "Det handler om oss!" - Barn om samvær i barnevernet (Forandringsfabrikken)
2022-04-01 09:00 - 09:45
Hva tenker barn selv om samvær med sin biologiske familie? Hvor mye får barn være med å bestemme i saker som omhandler dem? I dette foredraget får vi høre erfaringer og råd fra barn, presentert av proffer i Forandringsfabrikken. Hvor mye og hvordan samvær skal gjennomføres er viktige avgjørelser for barn. Hva sier kunnskapen fra barn og barns rettigheter om hvordan avgjørelsene kan bli riktigst mulig for barna? Forandringsfabrikken gjennomførte i 2020 en undersøkelse med 100 barn i alderen 7-18 år rundt i landet, om deres erfaringer og råd og de gir i dette foredraget en gjennomgang av undersøkelsens viktigste funn.
Forandringsfabrikken er et kunnskapssenter som henter inn kunnskap fra barn og unge og undersøker hvordan barn opplever møtene med skole, psykisk helsehjelp, barnevern, rettssystemet og andre hjelpesystemer.
