“…Analysen visade att liknande resonemang och argument förekom gällande rättslig vårdform i båda vinjetterna, eftersom konsekvenserna för barnen i stort var desamma. Av utrymmesskäl redogör jag därför utförligt endast för vinjett 1 (för en sammanfattning av båda vinjetterna, se Ponnert, 2017). Eftersom vinjett 1 diskuterades först i gruppintervjuerna är det i relation till den vinjetten som de mest utförliga resonemangen om rättslig vårdform återfinns och alla citat i artikeln (utom två) är resonemang knutna till vinjett 1.…”

“…Eftersom intervjuerna som helhet berör frågor som rör vårdform, placeringsalternativ och vårdnadsöverflyttning har analysen genomförts i flera omgångar och under en längre tidsperiod, med fokus på olika frågor och perspektiv. I ett första skede analyserades vilka olika diskurser som framträdde gällande val av placeringsform i intervjuerna (Ponnert, 2017). I den här artikeln är dock de rättsliga förutsättningarna av större betydelse och har utgjort en viktig tolkningsram i analysen för att förstå socialsekreterarnas resonerande.…”

“…Samtidigt förekom också resonemang som talade för att en långsiktig frivillig placering av barnen kunde motiveras om samarbetet med föräldern fungerade väl. Även barns önskemål om att bo i ett visst familjehem kunde ha betydelse, framför allt om barnen var lite äldre (Ponnert, 2017).…”

Compulsory care or not? Social workers’ discretionary reasoning when children need out-of-home care due to homicidal violence The aim of this article is to analyse social workers’ discretionary reasoning when children need immediate and long-term out-of-home care due to homicidal violence. In Sweden, children may be placed in out-of-home care without legal proceedings as a voluntary support measure even in serious cases of maltreatment, if the child’s custodians give their consent to such care. However, a formally given consent might be questioned if it is not regarded as adequate or enough to provide the child with the appropriate care. This article explores how Swedish social workers reason about their discretion to suggest a voluntary placement or compulsory care for children in these cases of serious violence, and some legal dilemmas in practice. The study is based on six qualitative group interviews with fourteen Swedish social workers from four municipalities. Two constructed vignettes were used in the interviews. The article highlights what arguments social workers use to justify compulsory care or a voluntary placement and how different legal arguments might be put forward. The article illustrates how social workers find it difficult to legally justify an immediate compulsory-care decision in these cases, yet most of them claim that they would, in time, initiate a legal proceeding and suggest compulsory care.

“…Johnson-Garner and Meyers (2003) have also observed that kinship caregivers are more likely to receive social support from extended family members, which could translate into positive child outcomes. The involvement of extended family members and close friends in the care of children in need of parental care is not only practised in Ghana but is also seen in developed countries including Australia, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and the United States (Kiraly & Humphreys, 2016; Ponnert, 2017; Selwyn & Nandy, 2014). This may confirm a general conception that children in kinship care have more positive experiences, compared to their counterparts in institutional care (Burgess et al., 2010; Lee et al., 2017; Wu et al., 2015).…”

The provision of care by extended family members and close friends is a common cultural practice in Ghanaian traditional communities. With a recent interest by stakeholders in Ghana to consider kinship care as an alternative care option in child welfare policy, this study explores current kinship care challenges to help identify and address potential setbacks for policy and practice recommendations. In-depth interviews were conducted with 22 young adults with experience as Children in Kinship Care (CKC). The participants with CKC experience reported inadequate basic needs, educational neglect, and lack of adequate emotional attachment as the major difficulties experienced by children in kinship care. The study revealed that challenges faced by CKC in Ghana mostly come from the limited financial and emotional resources of caregivers. For policy recommendations, common cultural practices like CKC should be adequately examined with clear guidelines on how to promote the welfare of children and young people.

The existing legal system of marriage and family in China lacks gender awareness. Therefore, this paper aims to introduce gender equality and justice into the legal system. Firstly, the gender construction of marriage and family was discussed, and the three major revisions in China's marriage and family policies were reviewed. Next, a survey was conducted to evaluate the recognition of marriage law among Chinese citizens. The authors also compared the housework and employment conditions between males and females. Through the analysis, it is suggested that marriage and family legislation should advocate equality between men and women, and women should be given more respect and provided with more opportunities for personal development. The research findings shed new light on gender mainstreaming in marriage and family.
