Inledande bedömning (kartläggning) och undervisning av nyanlända elever
Get PDFPå mottagningsenheten Adjunkten sker den obligatoriska inledande bedömningen, utifrån Skolverkets kartläggningsmaterial för bedömning av nyanlända elevers numeracitet. Syftet med kartläggningen är att skapa förutsättningar för mottagande skolor att forma undervisningen efter elevens styrkor och förmågor. Parallellt med kartläggningen pågår en introduktion och undervisning i ämnet matematik. Vårt projekt hade som syfte att utveckla matematikundervisning och kartläggning för nyanlända elever på mottagningsenheten Adjunkten.
Projektet inkluderade tre ben som kompletterar varandra och utvecklas parallellt:
Första benet är utveckling av inledande bedömning och kartläggning i numeracitet.
Andra benet är utveckling av undervisning/introduktion i ämnet matematik utifrån elevernas prestation i kartläggning.
Tredje benet är skapande av begreppslistan på olika språk för de yngre åldrarna som kan vara till hjälp för både elever och undervisande pedagoger.
Vi ser en fördel med att våra elever går åtta veckor hos oss och det är bra tid att få en introduktion i ämnet matematik. De som undervisar i matematik baserar sin undervisning mycket på ord och begrepp och grundläggande kunskaper inom tidsuppfattning. Vi bedriver språkutvecklande arbetssätt i undervisning i matematik och så fort vi upptäcker elever som ligger i lägre nivå enligt Skolverkets bedömningsunderlag och är i behov av grundläggande taluppfattning, sätter vi in insatser. Vi inkluderar föräldrar att stötta sina barn på modersmålet/skolspråket och bygger parallellt med svenskan. Vi vill gärna berätta mer konkret om vårt arbete

Get PDFPolish women immigrants vs utilization and attitudes to gynecological preventive care in Sweden
Get PDFMigrant use of available Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) services may differ from the host population. The health sector of the host country may not be sufficiently prepared to provide the necessary information and assistance for migrants (Cör, 2019). This presentation was based on an ethnographic pilot study from 2022, reflecting on thirteen semi-structured interviews conducted with Polish women aged 25 to 45 living in Stockholm. The study analyzed the accessibility and barriers faced by Polish immigrants in public gynecological care in Sweden and sought to explain their attitudes and frequency of gynecological visits. In particular, the study interrogated knowledge about basic gynecological topics such as Pap and HPV tests, alongside HPV infections and vaccinations. The study identified several barriers for Polish women to become full, equal participants of Swedish gynecological healthcare. These barriers included an underlying lack of understanding of how Swedish gynecological care works, problems in finding specialist care, an insufficient number of specialists, a lack of information in English or Polish, and a limited knowledge among study participants about HPV tests and vaccinations. Adaptation to the Swedish SRH system was strongly tied to participants level of trust in it. The study showed that trust is influenced by women first experiences with health care in Sweden, health literacy, experiences with the Polish private gynecological system, and the attitudes of partners and family with Swedish backgrounds or long term experiences in Sweden. This study may constitute the basis for a broader discussion about migrants’ sexual health and access to public health.Migrant use of available Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) services may differ from the host population.

Finding (un)safety in Europe: how non-heteronormativity influences the experiences of refugees and migrants in Greece
Get PDFSince 2015, over a million people have entered Greece by either land or sea in order to seek international protection in Europe. However, fleeing war, persecution, and protracted poverty have not always proven to be a reason to be granted asylum by Greek and European authorities, which, as many claim, have established a number of mechanisms to deter further arrivals. In this context, one had to prove to be a deserving refugee, which was often not a matter of fear-induced flight, but rather of falling into one of the pre-existing acceptable categories, customarily linked to country of origin and perceived vulnerability. For those non-conforming to heteronormative ways of being and loving, such deservingness has been considerably more difficult to prove.
This paper reads through my observations on how non-heteronormative sexual practices and desires, being or not the reason for persecution for numerous of the people arriving in Greece, dictate their refugeehood and migration experiences. Such experiences, oftentimes resulting in their self-isolation and social exclusion from peers in liminal spaces and temporalities such as refugee camps, are habitually shaped by the asylum services, where both notions of homonationalism, somehow awarding intelligible manifestations of non-heteronormativity, and LGBTQI+phobia, punishing them, are to be found. By the same token, the assistance provided by well-intentioned humanitarian organisations whose expectations of suffering and approximation to death queer refugees need to fulfill in order to authenticate their sexual orientation or gender identity without disappointing decision makers, and, in turn, meet their vulnerability criteria, plays a central role. The same is true of the support grassroots LGBTQI+ groups lend queer refugees and migrants, which is traditionally linked to a certain degree of visibility and, although indirectly, to a sort of political activism through the politicisation of their struggle. These three points, far from guaranteeing the safety of individuals with non-heteronormative attitudes, further expose them to insecurity, and hinder their sexual, reproductive, and mental health.Since 2015, over a million people have entered Greece by either land or sea in order to seek international protection in Europe.

The Rohingya survival crisis and the significance of refugee-host marriage in Bangladesh
Get PDFThis paper seeks to shed light on interethnic marriage, a survival strategy employed by the Rohingya who fled Myanmar for their lives and sought refuge in Bangladesh for decades. Considering the paucity of research on the citizenship and integration of the Rohingya, it offers an insight into how 'stateless' Rohingya refugees attempt to survive in the host country by engaging in interethnic marriage. The major research question of the study is: How effective is interethnic marriage in the survival of Rohingyas in Bangladesh? It examines the strategies, causes, and consequences of the establishment of marital relationships between Rohingyas and the host communities, drawing on empirical research conducted between 2018 and 2021 in various refugee camps in Cox's Bazar. Migration, marriage, citizenship, survival, integration, and sexuality were considered key concepts in the data collection and analysis of this study. The empirics of the study reveal that in the absence of adequate food, shelter, and security in refugee camps, Rohingya women try to manage their survival by marrying Bangladeshi men with the hope of obtaining citizenship and other basic rights. In the absence of adequate food, shelter, and security in refugee camps, Rohingya women attempt to ensure their survival by marrying Bangladeshi men in the hopes of obtaining citizenship and other basic rights, as revealed by the study's empirical findings. Although such interethnic marriages are 'illegal' and often include polygamy, child marriage, or abandonment, both parties see potential benefits in such unions. However, intermarriage hasn't been as beneficial to the Rohingya's survival as it could have been.This paper seeks to shed light on interethnic marriage, a survival strategy employed by the Rohingya who fled Myanmar for their lives and sought refuge in Bangladesh for decades.

Ackumulerad tystnad: Organisatoriska spänningsförhållanden i barnavårdsutredningar vid misstänkt våld
Get PDFPresentationen tar sin utgångspunkt i ett forskningsprojekt om barnavårdsutredningar vid misstänkt våld, med fokus på rättsliga krav och hur våld tolkas och förstås i praktiken. Ett syfte har varit att analysera de spänningsförhållanden som kan finnas mellan olika rättsliga principer och hur dessa hanteras av socialsekreterare. Projektets frågeställningar har rört socialsekreterares handlingsutrymme, etiska dilemman och hur orosanmälningar om misstänkt våld hanteras i praktiken. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av två kvalitativa intervjustudier med socialsekreterare i olika kommuner (gruppintervjuer och individuella intervjuer) samt barnavårdsutredningar som inletts på grund av misstanke om våld i en kommun.
I denna presentation kommer några resultat från intervjustudierna att presenteras, med särskilt fokus på organisatoriska spänningsförhållanden och etiska dilemman som samverkan med olika professionella och med Barnahus innebär och några konsekvenser för barn (Ponnert, in press). När det finns misstanke om att ett barn upplevt våld i hemmet involveras som regel flera olika yrkesverksamma; professionella med anmälningsskyldighet, socialsekreterare i mottagningsenhet och utredningsenhet, samt yrkesverksamma i Barnahus, varmed en kedja av både intern och extern samverkan sätts i gång. Ett syfte med Barnahus har varit att tillhandahålla en barncentrerad modell för att utreda misstänkt barnmisshandel med en en-dörrs princip för att undvika sekundär viktimisering, samtidigt visar studier på vissa utmaningar i praktiken, som att en straffrättslig logik tenderar att prägla arbetet (Johansson 2011; 2017) och att barn får begränsat med information inför och efter förhöret på Barnahus (Kläfverud 2021; Landberg & Svedin 2013; Kaldal m.fl. 2017).) Socialtjänsten präglas i sin tur av en intraorganisatorisk specialisering där utredningsarbetet delas upp i mottagningsenheter, med ansvar för den omedelbara skyddsbedömningen och förhandsbedömningen, och utredningsenheter som ansvarar för själva barnavårdsutredningen. Men vad händer med socialsekreterares riskbedömningar, när de både filtreras internt mellan olika enheter, och i förhållande till Barnahus och en straffrättslig logik?
I presentationen visas hur både anmälare och socialsekreterare undviker att tala vidare med barn om våld i väntan på förhöret på Barnahus. Den omedelbara skyddsbedömningen präglas också av administrativa och normativa trösklar till följd av rättsliga krav och arbetets organisering. Begreppet ”ackumulerad tystnad” introduceras som ett sätt att förstå den fördröjningsprocess som juridifieringen (jfr Teubner 1987) av barns våldsutsatthet och det delade ansvaret och handlingsutrymmet (jfr Hood 2020) som olika yrkesverksamma runt barnet har när barn berättar om våld, resulterar i
Diffusion and translation of the Barnahus model through the lens of institutional tensions
Get PDFResponding to the victimisation of children is a key societal challenge to which nations are increasingly committed. As victims, children have rights and needs that require services from both the justice and welfare sectors (cf. St.-Amand et al. 2023). In Europe, the Barnahus model has been introduced as a way to strengthen children’s access to justice and recovery in the aftermath of violence and abuse. As described by Johansson (2011) the model combines two tracks, or ‘institutional logics’ (Friedland & Alford, 1991; Reay & Hinings, 2009), that ideally are meant to be balanced: the justice track, which refers to the handling of criminal cases, and the welfare track, which refers to safeguarding and recovery measures. Since the Barnahus model was first introduced in Iceland in 1998, it has spread to a number of European countries, both within and beyond the Nordic region.
This presentation has two main objectives: The first is to describe the further diffusion of the Barnahus model throughout Europe and to exemplify various translations at local levels; the second is to present the framework and outline for the new book “Justice and recovery for victimised children. Institutional tensions in Nordic and European Barnahus models” (Johansson et al., eds., 2024).
On an overarching institutional level, the Barnahus model may be understood as having diffused across Europe and led to surface ‘isomorphism’ (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983) within the field of organisations that handle victimised children. But on the organisational and agency levels we need to focus on comparative analyses of local organisational adaptions and translations (Greenwood et al., 2014; Czarniawska & Sevón, 1996). Our comparative analysis illustrates major local variations related to the ongoing diffusion and translation process of the Barnahus model in Europe.
This book draws the ideas and institutional manifestations of the Barnahus model to the forefront of the analysis in order to highlight both the potentials of the model and its tensions and dilemmas. For analytical purposes, we have divided the book into four parts and subsequently various institutional tensions into different dimensions or types of tensions, even though the tensions often overlap in practice and are difficult to discern from each other: (1) legal tensions, (2) organisational tensions, (3) professional-ethical tensions, and (4) balancing institutional tensions. In the final discussion, key conclusions are drawn based on the contributions in this book, to provide guidance to countries that are currently considering implementing, or are piloting, the Barnahus model
Barnets färd: Efter ett år
Get PDFEn av de grundläggande idéerna i projektet ”Barnets färd genom den sociala barnvården” är att under en längre tidshorisont – sex- år – följa de barn som utreds i den sociala barnavården. På så sätt kommer projektet att kunna bidra till forskningen om inflödet till och sorteringsprocesser i den sociala barnavården. ”Barnets färd” baseras på data från åtta mellansvenska kommuner om barn som utretts. Baseline-data om 2123 utredda barn har samlats in och analyser pågår. Vi har också gjort en uppföljning efter ett år och det är data från den som kommer att presenteras.
Av de 2123 barnen som utreddes har vi fått in uppgifter om ca 1860 barn (svarsfrekvens 88 %) vid ettårs-uppföljningen. De som inte fått någon insats vid baseline var ca 1230 barn medan de som fått insats var ca 630 individer. I presentationen kommer vi att diskutera hur det gått för de som fått insatser respektive de som inte fått insatser. Preliminära analyser ger vid handen att de flesta som inte fått någon insats vid baseline inte heller har det vid uppföljningen. Däremot är det ett relativt stort antal av dessa som (åter)anmälts och som utretts en eller flera gånger under det år som gått (uppföljningsåret), men de flesta utan att det blivit någon insats. Av den grupp som fått insats vid baseline är det ca ett av sex barn som har insatser vid ettårs-uppföljningen, men också för denna grupp är det ett stort antal som utretts under uppföljningsåret utan att det lett till ytterligare insatser.
I presentationen kommer vi att analysera vilka faktorer (anmälare, problembild, ålder osv) som hänger samman med om barnen finns kvar i barnavården eller inte efter ett år, vilka insatser de i så fall fått och hur socialarbetarna värderar dessa insatser. Vi kommer att lägga särskild vikt vid att diskutera varför så många barn, trots återkommande anmälningar och utredningar, inte får några insatser.
Analysen kommer att göras på basis av det som brukar kallas people-processing technology (Hasenfeld, 2009), med begrepp som klientsorteringsprocesser i centrum. Vi relaterar också resultaten dels till den starka betoning på frivillighet som hittills präglat den svenska sociala barnavården, dels det nationellt sett kraftigt ökade antalet anmälningar/ansökningar som enligt Socialstyrelsen årligen kommer in till socialtjänstens barnavård
