Improved community care and new placement forms

New placement forms and greater differentiation in institutional care for children and young people

What's at stake: According to the committee, shortages of places and closures of care homes have worsened an already serious situation in social care for children and young people, and the question of new placement forms and greater differentiation of care affects how well the care needs of vulnerable children and young people can be met.

Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.

What the vote decides

The question is whether the government should come back with proposals for new placement forms for children and young people in institutional care, or whether the ongoing inquiry into greater differentiation and special powers at homes for care or housing should be considered sufficient.

Yes Yes — the committee proposal

The committee notes that shortages of places and closures of homes for care or housing run by criminal operators have worsened the situation in social care for children and young people, but points to the mandate given to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (Ivo) to strengthen supervision of such homes, and to the ongoing inquiry into strengthened safety and security for children and young people in homes for care or housing, which addresses greater differentiation of care and special powers. In view of the ongoing work and mandates, the committee does not consider that the Riksdag needs to take any initiative, and recommends rejecting the motions.

No No — the reservations

Reservation 16 (V)

The reservation holds that the government should come back with proposals for new placement forms for children and young people.
