To Work From A Child'S Perspective : The Consideration of the Child's Perspective in Investigations and Family Treatment (English)
Abstract [en]

The aim of the study is to explore the consideration of the child’s perspective in investigations and family intervention within the context of two professional roles: social workers and family therapists. Both professions operate with the aim of promoting the best interests of the child after methods such as BBIC. 

We chose a qualitative method through semi-structured interviews with four social workers from units related to children, young people and families, as well as four family therapists from family therapy organizations around Sweden. Our theories have been the experiences of action, empowerment and child's perspective. Beyond these theories we have been looking at the Children’s Convention to see which difference the implementation in Swedish law has made. 

The results show that the child's perspective, according to the social workers and family therapists, has grown stronger in the last few years but that there is still a big need for development in both works. Notably, the implementation of the Children's Convention has augmented documentation and journaling practices. However, challenges persist in staying updated of new legal frameworks. Other than that the economic constraints influence the decision-making process, leading to a preference for shorter and less expensive interventions over longer ones. Effective collaboration between family therapists and social workers is essential for a unified approach to the child's perspective, striking a balance to integrate both parental and child perspectives meaningfully.
