“…However, following the group of young adults for an additional four years, there is an increase in positive transitions -for both groups. For the sample with child protection experience, 42% had a positive transition compared to 84% in the non-child protection group (Backe-Hansen et al, 2014). Although there was a doubling of the number of positive transitions for young adults with child welfare experiences, the findings clearly show that far too many young individuals with experiences from the child protection system, do not have a full scale of options to choose how to live their lives.…”

“…The largest studies of registry data in Norway included all children receiving child protection measures each year from 1990 to 2010. Part of this sample, those born in 1993-1999, were compared to a randomized sample (n=112 412) of individuals that had not been in the child protection system (Backe-Hansen, Madsen, Kristofersen, & Hvinden, 2014;Clausen & Kristofersen, 2008). Outcomes for the young adults in the two samples were examined along four dimensions; education, income, having ever received social assistance and have ever been unemployed.…”

Children’s Rights in Norway

This chapter examines children´s right to protection against all forms of detrimental care, as outlined in article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and how the Norwegian political-administrative system has implemented this right. The authors present first the core elements of the Norwegian family service-oriented child protection system and discuss how this system approaches children and families in need of assistance. Secondly, they discuss if the system adheres to human right standards and identify five possible blind spots: the challenge of pluralism; wide-ranging discretionary practices; lacking professional education; insufficient protection of the liberty of the child; and lack of space for the voice of the child. We finally discuss whether children are sufficiently protected, and conclude that although Norwegian child protection services can be ranked high in an international comparison, there is significant space for improvement.

“…It is well documented that these children, whether living at home or after placement, have difficulties associated with completing schooling at all levels (Iversen et al 2010 Needless to say, this is a matter of considerable concern, since uncompleted education, and at whatever level, has a negative effect upon life chances. Young adults formerly in contact with child protection are over-represented among the unemployed, and receive social security and income support much more frequently than their peers (Clausen and Kristofersen 2008;Backe-Hansen et al 2014). Parents in contact with child protection have very often themselves had challenges at school, and many will not have completed secondary or even primary school (Clifford et al 2015;Fauske et al 2009).…”

Marginalization is unavoidable in societies where exchange, distribution and accumulation of goods and services predominantly take place in the market. It follows from this that marginalization as such is not something that agencies and services can avoid, though they can seek to mitigate its negative effects in a variety of ways. When those outside the market are dependent on assistance of different kinds from several agencies, they will be especially vulnerable. The services will themselves, though not necessarily in any deliberate way, be agents of marginalization; they contribute to its often subtle and complex dynamics (Pusic 1972). Marginalization in the perspective Pusic provided is in part a product of services and provisions at the margins of the market that impose criteria and tests for providing help, or even penalties that may incur loss of status or integrity

“…Research from the last two or three decades has strongly suggested that young adults coming from a public care background share an elevated risk of several poor individual and social outcomes, particularly during the initial out-of-care phase of their lives (for an international review, see Stein and Munro 2008). On the other hand, research across countries shows that aftercare services improve such outcomes (Backe-Hansen et al 2014) to a greater extent the longer they are maintained (Courtney, Hook and Lee 2012). Thus, it is important to increase existing knowledge about how such services can be provided in targeted and effective ways.…”

Agency and flexible support in transition from care: learning from the experiences of a Norwegian sample of care leavers doing well

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the role that the Norwegian Child Welfare Services (CWS) can play in assisting care leavers with their transition to adulthood. Our point of departure is that timely and effective aftercare services must be understood from a relational perspective centred on the quality of the relationship between young adult and caseworker. The paper analyses in-depth interviews with 16 Norwegian young adults aged 20-32 who were either students or in stable employment at the time, and thus considered to be doing well according to common indicators in studies of care leavers' outcomes. Two kinds of relationships between the young adults and CWS were identified: those who thought that CWS had recognized their needs and provided services accordingly and those who had either not been offered support or had been offered inadequate support. Our analysis indicates that a positive relationship between young adults and their caseworker facilitates both agency on the part of the young adult and provision of flexible support according to their needs. Implications for policy and practice will be discussed.
