Activity Support

The plan prioritizes preventive measures before repression and demands that schools and social services be given better resources to prevent recruitment of children into gang crime. It also wants to see investments in student wellbeing and social support in schools. Examining the possibility of establishing cooperation teams with social workers and family therapists at secondary schools is a concrete expression of the same line.

• prevent recruitmentdecisive»Vissa straff kan behöva höjas men mycket mer fokus måste riktas mot att förhindra rekryteringen av nya barn till gängkriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Some penalties may need to be raised but much more focus must be directed at preventing recruitment of new children into gang crime.”
• resources to schools and social service»Skola och fritidsverksamheter behöver ges bättre resurser, likaså socialtjänsten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Schools and recreational activities need better resources, as does the social service.”
• social support in schools»Det krävs satsningar inte bara på undervisning utan också på elevhälsa, specialpedagoger, fritidsverksamhet och socialt stöd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Investments are needed not only in teaching but also in student wellbeing, special education teachers, recreational activities and social support.”
• smart crime prevention»För att få ner brottsligheten går det inte bara att vara hård mot de kriminella, det gäller att vara smartare än de kriminella.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To reduce crime, it is not just about being tough on criminals, it is about being smarter than criminals.”

The plan wants to see more and far-reaching social measures to stop recruitment into crime and particularly emphasizes cooperation between school, social services and student health. Collaboration teams with social workers and family therapists in secondary school are precisely such an intervention in school for students at risk. The counter-proposal's demand to review the possibility is therefore supported on substance.

• more social measuresdecisive»Vi vill se fler och mer långtgående sociala insatser och föräldrar ska vara skyldiga att medverka när deras barn behöver socialtjänstens åtgärder.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see more and far-reaching social measures and parents should be obligated to participate when their children need social services' interventions.”
• cooperation in school»Det behövs mer samarbete mellan polis, elevhälsa, socialtjänst och skola.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More cooperation is needed between police, student health, social services and school.”
• break recruitment into crime»Avgörande för att bryta nyrekryteringen är det viktiga arbete som personal inom skola, socialtjänst och civilsamhälle utför.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Crucial to breaking recruitment is the important work performed by staff in school, social services and civil society.”
• resources for vulnerable schools»De mest utsatta skolorna och förskolorna måste få mer resurser.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The most vulnerable schools and preschools must receive more resources.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan wishes to push hard on prevention work and to strengthen student health services with more professions in schools, and the party programme demands that children needing special support are identified and receive adequate help from school and social services as early as possible. Cooperation teams with social workers and family therapists at secondary school level are a means for precisely this. The election manifesto also wishes to ease secrecy between school and social services so no children fall through the cracks.

• more professions in schoolsdecisive»förstärka elevhälsan och satsa på fler skolsköterskor, specialpedagoger, psykologer och kuratorer i skolan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen student health services and invest in more school nurses, special education teachers, psychologists and counsellors in schools.”
• early support to children»Barn i behov av särskilt stöd ska uppmärksammas och ges adekvat hjälp av bland annat« (party programme ↗)“Children needing special support shall be identified and given adequate help from, among others,”
• prevention against crime»storsatsa på det förebyggande arbetet i socioekonomiskt eftersatta områden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“push hard on prevention work in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas.”
• cooperation between schools and social services»lätta på sekretessen mellan områdespoliser, skola, socialtjänst och stärka samarbetet med civilsamhälle så att inga barn faller mellan stolarna i det förebyggande arbetet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“ease secrecy between area police, schools, social services and strengthen cooperation with civil society so no children fall through the cracks in prevention work.”

The plan requires better initiatives that prevent recruitment into gangs and that the preventive work starts early and permeates all of society, with better student health as a prerequisite. Reviewing cooperation teams with social workers and family counselors in middle school is such an early initiative in schools. The plan does not mention the specific model, so the conclusion is derived.

• prevent gang recruitmentdecisive»Samhället ska inte vika sig för gängen. För att besegra dem krävs bättre insatser som förebygger nyrekrytering, mer resurser till polis, åklagare, domstolar och kriminalvården och strängare straff.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society shall not yield to gangs. To defeat them, better initiatives that prevent recruitment, more resources for police, prosecutors, courts and prisons, and stricter penalties are required.”
• early preventive work»Det förebyggande arbetet måste börja tidigt och genomsyra hela samhället.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The preventive work must start early and permeate all of society.”
• better student health»En bättre elevhälsa är en förutsättning för det.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Better student health is a prerequisite for that.”
• invest in preventive initiatives»Vi behöver rusta Sveriges totalförsvar, stärka hela rättskedjan, satsa på förebyggande insatser och en likvärdig skola.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We need to strengthen Sweden's total defence, strengthen the entire justice system, invest in preventive initiatives and an equitable school system.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises social teams in disadvantaged schools that can address young people going off track, which in substance is the same as the counter-proposal's collaboration teams with social workers and family counselors at secondary level. The plan also wants to stop crime already in classrooms and make early interventions against young people going wrong. To review the possibility of establishing such teams thereby lies directly in line with the plan.

• social teams in disadvantaged schoolsdecisive»För att ändra det krävs att de skolor som har tuffast förutsättning ges möjlighet att rekrytera de bästa lärarna, fler verktyg för lärare och rektor att hantera stök och oordning och sociala team på utsatta skolor som kan komma tillrätta med unga på glid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To change that, schools with the toughest conditions need the opportunity to recruit the best teachers, more tools for teachers and principals to manage disruption and disorder, and social teams in disadvantaged schools that can address young people going off track.”
• early interventions against youth crime»Tidigare, tydligare och tuffare insatser för att förebygga och förhindra att unga glider in i brottslighet måste till.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Earlier, clearer and tougher efforts to prevent and stop young people from sliding into crime are needed.”
• preventive work is prioritized»Tidiga och förebyggande insatser är avgörande.« (party programme ↗)“Early and preventive efforts are decisive.”
• support resources in school»Elevhälsan ska ha kompetens inom både fysisk och psykisk hälsa.« (party programme ↗)“Student health services shall have expertise in both physical and mental health.”

The manifesto requires significantly strengthened student health with unified child and adolescent health care and a national social intervention force, and the plan presupposes close cooperation between social services, police and school to early prevent criminality. To review cooperation teams with social workers and family counselors at lower secondary school is a concrete form of the same measure.

• strengthened student healthdecisive»Kraftigt stärkt elevhälsa med en sammanhållen barn- och ungdomshälsovård och föräldrastödsprogram som erbjuds alla föräldrar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly strengthened student health with unified child and adolescent health care and parental support programs offered to all parents.”
• social intervention force»Inrätta en nationell social insatsstyrka, så det förebyggande arbetet stärks och blir mer lika i landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Establish a national social intervention force, so the preventive work is strengthened and becomes more equal in the country.”
• cooperation between school and social services»Socialtjänsten, polisen och skolan har en stor uppgift i detta avseende« (party programme ↗)“Social services, police and school have a big task in this respect”
• good growing-up conditions»Ungdomar har rätt till goda uppväxtvillkor« (party programme ↗)“Young people have the right to good growing-up conditions”

The plan establishes that investment in social services and schools is needed to prevent more people from being drawn into crime and promises a national no entry programme for young people at risk. To review multi-disciplinary teams with social workers and family therapists at secondary school is precisely such an intervention where social services and schools meet around students at risk. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demands in substance.

• social services and schools prevent crimedecisive»Samtidigt behövs satsningar på socialtjänsten och skolan för att på sikt förhindra att fler dras in i kriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At the same time, investment in social services and schools is needed to in the long term prevent more people from being drawn into crime.”
• no entry programme for risk zone»Ta bort sekretesshindren mellan polis och socialtjänst samt inrätta ett nationellt no entry-program för unga i riskzonen i syfte att snabbt stoppa en påbörjad kriminell karriär« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove the confidentiality barriers between police and social services and establish a national no entry programme for young people at risk with the aim of quickly stopping an begun criminal career”
• crime-preventing reform package»Det handlar om över 50 reformer för att stärka socialtjänst, skola och missbruksvård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It concerns over 50 reforms to strengthen social services, schools and addiction care.”

The election manifesto wants to give social services, schools and the justice system the opportunity to intervene with tougher measures at an early stage and establishes that treatment expertise to the greatest extent shall be available on site in schools. The plan also wants to increase social services' preventive measures for young people at risk and significantly strengthen student health. The counter-proposal's demand to review cooperation teams with social workers and family therapists at middle school is precisely such a measure.

• early interventions at schooldecisive»Ge socialtjänst, skola och rättsväsende möjlighet att ingripa med tuffare tag i ett tidigt skede« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give social services, schools and the justice system the opportunity to intervene with tougher measures at an early stage”

• preventive social services»Att socialtjänstens förebyggande insatser ska öka för att tidigt fånga upp ungdomar på glid« (2022 manifesto ↗)“That social services' preventive measures shall increase to catch young people at risk early”
