Barnevernfrokost: Fra barnets beste til gjenforening som overordnet mål for barnevernstiltak etter omsorgsovertakelse? (Christian Børge Sørensen)
2022-02-18 09:00 - 09:45 (Europe/Oslo)
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.

Barnevernfrokost: Frivillig tvang? (Tarja Pösö)
2022-05-06 09:00 - 09:45
Frivillige tjenester basert på samtykke fra foreldre og barn utgjør kjernen av den nordiske barnevernsmodellen. Likevel rettes det ofte kraftig kritikk mot graden av frivillighet: er de nordiske barnevernssystemene i grunn preget av en form for skjult tvang? Basert på en studie med intervjuer av sosialarbeidere, barn og foreldre, samt analyse av relevante sakspapirer og lovverk gir Professor Tarja Pösö i dette foredraget et innblikk i graden av frivillighet innenfor det finske barnevernet. Foredraget og diskusjonen er på engelsk.
Tarja Pösö er professor ved Universitetet i Tampere (Finland) og tilknyttet Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism.

Barnevernfrokost: "Må hjelpe for oss" (Forandringsfabrikken)
2022-12-16 09:00 - 09:45 | Online, Norway
I en av de aller første undersøkelsene til dags dato om barns erfaring med familieveiledning som hjelpetiltak, viser rapporten «Må hjelpe for oss» at barn ofte ikke er involvert. Mange barn har ikke fått informasjon om at familien får veiledning, om hvem som gir veiledning, hva som gjøres i veiledningen og hvorfor de voksne får veiledning. I rapporten gis det oppsummerte råd fra barna til hvordan voksne kan gi informasjon, være voksne barn er trygge på og hvordan hjelpe kan bli nyttig. Barna som deltok i undersøkelsen ble invitert fra kommunalt barnevern, statlig barnevern (MST, FFT), barneverninstitusjoner, BUP, kommunale psykiske helsetjenester, familievernkontor, politi, Blå Kors og Alternativ til vold.
Fabrikkarbeider Anika Kurshed, sammen med to barnevernproffer, presenterer hovedfunn fra rapporten.
I presentasjonen tar proffene opp hovedfunn fra rapporten og gi råd om hvordan familieveiledning kan gis på måter som oppleves trygge og nyttige for de barna og ungdommene det gjelder:

Hvordan kan barn og unge bli samarbeidet med, for at det skal kjennes trygt?
Hvordan kan de få informasjon og uttale seg fritt, for at beslutningene tas til deres beste og at deres menneskerettigheter dermed skal sikres, vil også være tema.

2023-01-27 09:00 - 09:45 | Online
På fredagens barnevernfrokost presenteres resultater fra en av de første studiene om netthets av barnevernsarbeidere. Tre eksperter fra Irland, dr. Kenneth Burns, dr. Fiachra Ó Suilleabháin og Olwen Halvey, har undersøkt hva som skjer og hvordan dette oppleves og håndteres i det irske barnevernssystemet.
Dette er en av de største studiene som er gjort på netthets på barnevernfeltet. Forskerne har undersøkt erfaringene til de som har opplevd dette, hvordan det påvirker arbeid og privatliv, strategier for å beskytte seg (organisatoriske og individuelle), og hva som kan gjøres for å regulere dette bedre på ulike nivå.
Barnevernfrokosten er på engelsk. Det er lagt opp til at spørsmål kan stilles på norsk.

Hun er faglig kvalifisert sosialarbeider siden 2000 og har gjennomført videreutdanning i undervisning og læring i høyere utdanning.
