Development of social services work

The election manifesto demands that social services be strengthened with sufficient resources and knowledge to work preventively and on child protection, and the party programme wants to see work against violence based on research. Ongoing knowledge support and evidence-based methods throughout the country respond to that. The plan also warns that resources are replaced with forms, which makes the quality register the weaker of the requirements — but the direction is supported.

• knowledge to social servicesdecisive»förstärk socialtjänsten med tillräckliga resurser och kunskap för att arbeta både förebyggande och med barnskydd« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen social services with sufficient resources and knowledge to work both preventively and on child protection”

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 makes a strengthened social services central to reaching young people in time and wants to see more and more extensive social measures, with the child's best interests as the foundation. A clear mandate for ongoing knowledge support and evidence-based methods, as well as a quality register for monitoring measures for children, are means to exactly this, and respond to the plan's requirements for transparency and follow-up. Quality registers are not explicitly mentioned.

The plan wants policy to build on research and for interventions to be based on methods research has shown to be most effective, and that quality in publicly funded activities is constantly followed up. Children in need of special support shall be noticed and given adequate help as early as possible. A clear mandate for updated knowledge support and a quality register that follows up interventions for children lies directly in line with this.

• evidensbaserade metoderdecisive»Missbrukspolitiken bör utgå från de metoder som forskningen visat vara mest effektiva« (party programme ↗)“Substance abuse policy should be based on methods that research has shown to be most effective”

The party programme demands that care in the entire country be based on science and proven experience and that children's rights and perspective carry greatest weight, and the election manifesto promises equivalent and reliable welfare regardless of where one lives. A clear assignment for ongoing knowledge support, evidence-based methods and a quality register to follow up interventions for children is a means for precisely this. Social services knowledge management is not mentioned explicitly.

• science and proven experiencedecisive»God vård och omsorg i hela landet, baserad på vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet« (party programme ↗)“Good care throughout the country, based on science and proven experience”
• children's rights»Samhällets aktörer ska inta individens perspektiv. Av största betydelse är då barnens rättigheter och perspektiv.« (party programme ↗)“Society's actors shall take the individual's perspective. Of greatest importance is then the rights and perspective of children.”
• equivalent welfare throughout the country»Alla invånare ska ha tillgång till en likvärdig och pålitlig välfärd oavsett var de bor, och den offentliga servicen ska finnas där när man behöver den.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All residents shall have access to equivalent and reliable welfare regardless of where they live, and public services shall be available when needed.”
• transparency and follow-up»Sverige ska bli ännu mer transparent.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden shall become even more transparent.”

The plan builds social service policy on early and preventive measures, on scientifically-based care and on raised competence among social workers, and requires that placed children's rights be clearly stated in law. The counter-proposal's demands for ongoing knowledge support, evidence-based methods throughout the country and a quality register to follow up interventions for children align with this. The register as such is not mentioned in the documents.

• early preventive measuresdecisive»Tidiga och förebyggande insatser är avgörande.« (party programme ↗)“Early and preventive measures are decisive.”
• evidence-based methods»Missbruks- och beroendevården ska vara vetenskapligt grundad.« (party programme ↗)“Addiction and dependency treatment shall be scientifically based.”
• knowledge-based social services»Vi vill göra ungdomskriminalitet till ett obligatoriskt utbildningsmoment på socionomutbildningen och införa en specialisering för socialsekreterare med fokus på unga lagöverträdare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to make youth crime a mandatory educational element in social worker training and introduce a specialization for social workers focusing on young offenders.”
• follow-up of placed children»Placerade barns fri- och rättigheter ska vara tydligt« (party programme ↗)“Placed children's freedoms and rights shall be clearly”

The election manifesto wants to strengthen social efforts and make preventive work more equitable throughout the country, among other things through a national social intervention force. The party programme further requires that activities be based on knowledge and proven experience and that evaluation and quality control are a central political task. The counter-proposal's requirements for ongoing knowledge support, evidence-based methods throughout the country and a quality register for monitoring efforts for children thus follow from these commitments.

• equitable social effortsdecisive»Stärk sociala insatser och socialtjänstens möjligheter till tvingande åtgärder gentemot barn och unga som begår brott. Inrätta en nationell social insatsstyrka, så det förebyggande arbetet stärks och blir mer lika i landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen social efforts and social services' opportunities for coercive measures against children and young people who commit crimes. Establish a national social intervention force, so preventive work is strengthened and becomes more equal throughout the country.”
• monitoring and quality control»Utvärdering, kostnadsuppföljning och kvalitetskontroll är därför viktiga politiska« (party programme ↗)“Evaluation, cost monitoring and quality control are therefore important political”
• evidence-based activities»baserad på kunskap och beprövad erfarenhet, det vill säga evidensbaserad« (party programme ↗)“based on knowledge and proven experience, that is, evidence-based”
• child's right to safety»Barn har rätt till en trygg uppväxtmiljö.« (party programme ↗)“Children have the right to a safe upbringing environment.”

The plan wants to strengthen social services through a major reform package and uses precisely national knowledge centres as a tool, while the party programme requires that reforms be based on research and proven experience. A clear mandate for updated knowledge support, evidence-based methods throughout the country and a quality register for monitoring services to children aligns with this. However, the plan does not mention quality register.

• nationellt kunskapsstöddecisive»Inrätta ett nationellt kunskapscentrum för brottsprevention« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Establish a national knowledge centre for crime prevention”
• stärkt socialtjänst»över 50 reformer för att stärka socialtjänst, skola och missbruksvård« (2022 manifesto ↗)“over 50 reforms to strengthen social services, schools and addiction care”
• bättre informationsdelning»Undanröja alla sekretesshinder mellan socialtjänst och polis« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove all confidentiality barriers between social services and police”

The plan demands that investigations concerning children are quality-assured and legally secure and that knowledge-raising measures are implemented for all working with children and young people. It also demands clear results for every public investment, which speaks for follow-up in registers. The counter-proposal's demand for ongoing knowledge support, evidence-based methods throughout the country and a quality register thus follows from this.

• quality-assured child investigationsdecisive»Utredningar rörande barn ska vara kvalitetssäkrade och rättssäkra.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Investigations concerning children shall be quality-assured and legally secure.”
• knowledge support to staff»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, young people and family law matters.”
• quality and legal security»Öka kvalité och rättssäkerhet i utredningar om barn« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase quality and legal security in investigations of children”
