  In connection with the current revision of the Child Protection Act, the appointed committee has proposed to delineate the Child Protection Services' prevention responsibility to specifically address children at risk and in need of assistance. However, all children have fundamental human rights regarding a safe upbringing. The Child Protection Services have particular expertise and experience with children at risk. Their participation, in the collective responsibility for children in general can thus ensure the necessary exchange of expertise with other bodies working with and for children. Such shared competence can promote timely and targeted actions within communities, counteract individualization of childhood problems, and also ensure that children's perspectives are given the necessary focus in the universal prevention work.

  Barn har menneskerettslig krav på en forsvarlig levestandard. Oppvekst i lavinntektsfamilier medfører risiko for utenforskap og generasjonsoverføring av fattigdom, og forebyggingsog bistandsansvar påligger ulike kommunale virksomhetsområder. Vår undersøkelse i barnevernstjeneste og Nav viser at barnets rettigheter kan hemmes og fremmes av ulike forhold. Skolers organisering av kostnadsmessige aktiviteter spiller en sentral rolle, samtidig kan ulike utlånsordninger både forebygge og skape utenforskap for barn. At ansvaret for barns oppvekstsvilkår er spredt på ulike lover og virksomhetsområder og at kommuner organiserer sitt tjenestetilbud ulikt kan innebære uforutsigbarhet om hvilken tjenesteinstans som er ansvarlig. Nav ansatte snakker ikke med barn, og er heller ikke forpliktet til det. Dette til tross for at barnet har menneskerettslig krav på medvirkning, at familieøkonomi i høy grad angår barnets oppvekstsvilkår, og at samtaler med barnet ville kunnet sikret dets behov på kort og lang sikt.

  Mandatory referral on child suffering from preschool to child protection services in Norway. Why does it not happen more often? Background and purpose: According to UN convention on the rights of children, and according to the Norwegian Children’s act social services is required to ensure that children who live under conditions that can harm their health and development have a legal right to achieve public aid in due time. The background for our study is a presumption that there is a potential to increase the number of referrals on children at risk from employees in nursery school to social child protection service (Myrvang & Neverdal 2012. The purpose of the study is to investigate the preconditions of giving referrals in situations that cause concern. According to the Norwegian Children’s act the preschool staff is obliged to refer concerns when they have reasonable cause to suspect that a child is suffering at home, and shall take action to safeguard the child´s welfare. One assumption is that an increased number of referrals will give better opportunities to early intervention. The study investigates discrepancies between an ideal situation for referring concerns to child protection services, and the different factors that influence a decision to carry out the act of referring or not. Methods: The study is based on depth interviews with a selected number of experienced peadagogic leaders in preschools in Norway. The informants are selected among employees in with solid experience handling demanding situations after a concern report is given to the child protection service. Results: The study shows that the inclination to refer a concern is based on how confident the person is regarding to her own competence. The study point at the importance of establishing multidisciplinary based work arenas as a support when a referral is delivered. It is crucial to support the referring party to work further with demanding cases on arenas based on multidisciplinary cooperation. Cooperative work must be carried out in a climate caracterized by non-competitive attitudes and mutual trust - in the sense of reciprocal recognition of other competences. Conclusions and implications: So far the results of the study indicates that the sociological concept of “trust” will be a central tool for analyzing data from interviews with preschool staff (Giddens 1991/Hardin 2006). The research project is under way reaching its final conclusions.
