Barnevernfrokost: Netthets av barnevernansatte: funn fra en nasjonal studie i Irland
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.

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.
