Staffing

The election manifesto asserts that welfare needs resources and personnel rather than new control models, and that social services shall be strengthened with adequate resources and knowledge. The party programme wants society to take greater responsibility for working conditions in welfare. A trial with resource teams that strengthen staffing so that children do not need to be locked in is therefore exactly the path the plan points out.

• resources before control systemsdecisive»Det är resurser som främst behövs, inte formulär för kvalitetssäkring, nya bokningssystem för sjukhussängar eller ännu en managementkonsult som inte kan något om verksamheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is resources that are primarily needed, not forms for quality assurance, new booking systems for hospital beds or yet another management consultant who knows nothing about the operation.”
• strengthened social services»förstärk socialtjänsten med tillräckliga resurser och kunskap för att arbeta både förebyggande och med barnskydd« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen social services with adequate resources and knowledge to work both preventively and with child protection”
• good conditions in welfare»välfärden har goda arbetsvillkor och löner.« (party programme ↗)“welfare has good working conditions and salaries.”
• rebuilt welfare staffing»Välfärdsskulden som uppstått innebär att hundratusentals jobb försvunnit ur skola, vård och omsorg sedan 1990-talet, och det behövs en politisk vilja för att successivt börja bygga upp en bättre kvalitet igen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The welfare debt that has accumulated means that hundreds of thousands of jobs have disappeared from schools, healthcare and care since the 1990s, and it takes political will to successively start rebuilding better quality.”

The election manifesto makes a strengthened social services and more far-reaching social initiatives core to work with children in vulnerable environments, and places on the state the responsibility to ensure competence supply in welfare. The counter-proposal's resource teams with qualified staff at facilities with special needs are precisely such staffing and competence initiatives. The plan thus speaks for the proposal, even though it does not mention youth care facilities.

• strengthened social servicesdecisive»Att socialtjänsten stärks är centralt för att fånga upp unga i tid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“A strengthened social services is central to catching young people in time.”
• far-reaching social initiatives»Vi vill se fler och mer långtgående sociala insatser« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see more and more far-reaching social initiatives”
• state competence supply responsibility»Staten har ett ansvar för att säkra kompetensförsörjningen, inte minst i välfärden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state has a responsibility to ensure competence supply, particularly in welfare.”
• the Convention on the Rights of the Child»Alla barn ska ha rätt till en trygg uppväxt i enlighet med FN:s barnkonvention.« (party programme ↗)“All children have the right to a safe upbringing in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.”

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 wants to strengthen healthcare and education while young people are deprived of liberty and sees increased staffing as the path to higher quality. Resource teams with qualified staff instead of confinement are precisely such an initiative, in line with the line that initiatives come before restrictions. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's requirement.

• strengthened healthcare at deprivation of libertydecisive»• höja maxtiden för sluten ungdomsvård och förstärka vårdinsatser och utbildning under tiden den unge är frihetsberövad, samt införa en utslussningsverksamhet när straffet är avtjänat.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“• raise the maximum period for closed youth care and strengthen healthcare and education while the young person is deprived of liberty, and introduce a stepped-down activity when the sentence is completed.”
• increased staffing gives quality»En satsning på ökad bemanning genererar nya jobb samtidigt som kvaliteten ökar.« (party programme ↗)“Increased staffing generates new jobs while quality increases.”
• initiatives before restrictions»I det nya gröna folkhemmet sätter vi satsningar framför restriktioner, och ser möjligheter istället för hot.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In the new green people's home we place initiatives before restrictions, and see opportunities instead of threats.”
• adequate support for vulnerable children»Barn i behov av särskilt stöd ska uppmärksammas och ges adekvat hjälp av bland annat skola, socialtjänst och sjukvård så tidigt som möjligt.« (party programme ↗)“Children in need of special support shall be noticed and given adequate help from, among others, school, social services and healthcare as early as possible.”

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 election manifesto links more staff in care and nursing directly to less stress and better results, and the party programme emphasises the child's right to be respected and that new solutions should be tested. A resource team during a pilot period that reduces the need to lock up children follows both these commitments. The requirement for proportionality in restrictions on liberty points in the same direction. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal.

• better staffing gives better resultsdecisive»Att anställa fler sjuksköterskor leder till mindre stress på jobbet och bättre resultat för patienten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Hiring more nurses leads to less workplace stress and better results for the patient.”
• child's right to respect»Särskilt viktigt är att värna varje barns rätt att bli respekterad och att bli sedd för den man är.« (party programme ↗)“Especially important is to safeguard every child's right to be respected and to be seen for who they are.”
• test new solutions»Samtidigt behöver vi stimulera och pröva nya lösningar.« (party programme ↗)“At the same time, we need to stimulate and test new solutions.”
• proportionality in coercion»Det måste finnas en proportionalitet mellan lagstiftningens inskränkning av medborgarnas integritet och lagarnas syfte.« (party programme ↗)“There must be proportionality between the restriction of citizens' integrity by legislation and the law's purpose.”

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 counter-proposal wants to strengthen staffing explicitly as an alternative to locking up children and young people. The plan wants instead more places, shorter queues and expanded coercive measures for young offenders, and sees better care and staff as a complement to, not a replacement for, coercive measures. Therefore the plan argues against the demand as formulated.

• coercion and care togetherdecisive»Vi vill inrätta särskilda fängelser så att unga kriminella både kan få bättre vård under sitt straff och hållas undan äldre brottslingar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to establish special prisons so that young offenders can both receive better care during their sentence and be kept apart from older criminals.”
• expanded emergency youth care»Det ska inte som i dag råda kö till de anläggningar som ska akut ska kunna omhänderta unga våldsutövare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There shall not, as today, be a queue for the facilities that must immediately be able to take young violent offenders into custody.”
• more coercive custody of young people»att betydligt fler barn som fostras in i kriminalitet eller själva begår grova brott ska kunna omhändertas« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that significantly more children who are brought up in criminality or themselves commit serious crimes shall be able to be taken into custody”
• early and clear measures»Tidiga och tydliga insatser för unga brottslingar ökar möjligheten att bryta ett kriminellt beteende.« (party programme ↗)“Early and clear measures for young offenders increase the possibility of breaking criminal behaviour.”

The election manifesto wants to establish a national social intervention force and strengthen social services, which in substance is the same kind of strengthened and qualified staffing as the counter-proposal's resource teams. The plan also wants to train more staff and improve conditions in shortage occupations, thus address precisely the staffing problem. That the plan simultaneously wants to strengthen compulsory measures means that support applies to the resource teams, not the idea that coercion can be avoided.

• national social intervention forcedecisive»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 that preventive work is strengthened and becomes more equal across the country.”
• more and better conditions for staff»Utbilda mer personal för sjukvården. Förbättrade villkor i vårdens bristyrken och minska behovet av dyr inhyrd personal.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Train more staff for healthcare. Improved conditions in healthcare shortage occupations and reduce the need for expensive agency staff.”
• safe upbringing environment for children»Barn har rätt till en trygg uppväxtmiljö.« (party programme ↗)“Children have the right to a safe upbringing environment.”
• compulsory measures retained»Stärk sociala insatser och socialtjänstens möjligheter till tvingande åtgärder gentemot barn och unga som begår brott.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen social services and social services' opportunities for compulsory measures against children and young people who commit crimes.”

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's approach to young offenders is early and clear consequences, more restraint orders and more remand detention — not that coercive measures should be avoided through increased staffing. The plan also emphasizes that the enormous needs in welfare require hard prioritization. The counter-proposal's pilot programme with resource teams to avoid locking up young people therefore lacks support in the plan, even though the plan wants to strengthen care workers.

• early and clear consequencesdecisive»Moderaterna menar att samhällets skyddsnät ska fungera så pass bra att unga i riskzonen fångas upp långt innan de begår allvarliga brott – men att de som ändå väljer den brottsliga vägen ska mötas av tidiga och tydliga konsekvenser.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Moderate Party believes that society's safety net should work so well that young people at risk are caught far before they commit serious crimes – but that those who choose the criminal path shall nevertheless meet early and clear consequences.”
• deprivation of liberty for young people»Se till att fler unga lagöverträdare häktas när det rör sig om allvarliga brott och det finns risk för återfall« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Ensure that more young offenders are remanded when it comes to serious crimes and there is a risk of reoffending”
• hard budget priorities»De stora behoven inom rättsväsendet, försvaret och välfärden ställer stora krav på prioriteringar under åren som kommer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The great needs within the justice system, defence and welfare place great demands on prioritization in the years ahead.”
• strengthened care staff»Stärka vårdens medarbetare, bland annat genom att förbättra arbetsmiljön och möjligheterna till vidareutbildning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen care workers, among other things by improving the working environment and opportunities for further training”

The plan establishes that the process around placed children needs to be quality-assured, that social services operations need to be strengthened and that knowledge-raising measures are needed for all who work with children and young people. A pilot with resource teams of qualified personnel in facilities with special needs is such a competence and staffing boost. That the counter-proposal simultaneously wants to avoid confinement is conversely in tension with the plan's line on tougher interventions, which lowers the certainty of the assessment.

• competence-raising around childrendecisive»Det behövs också kunskapshöjande åtgärder för alla som arbetar med barn och unga och familjerättsliga frågor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There is also a need for knowledge-raising measures for all who work with children and young people and family law matters.”
• strengthened social services»Socialtjänstens verksamhet behöver stärkas och förebyggande insatser är viktiga för att tidigt fånga upp unga på glid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Social services operations need to be strengthened and preventive efforts are important to catch young people at risk early.”
• quality-assured compulsory care»Det finns ett stort behov av att processen kring placerade barn uppgraderas och kvalitetssäkras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There is a major need to upgrade and quality-assure the process around placed children.”
• tougher early interventions»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”
