“…I mange sammenhenger vil man derfor oppfatte seg som både leder og kollega, noe som kan føre til at man blir utsatt for forskjellige og ofte motstridende forventninger og krav fra de to gruppene. Over tid har vi sett en forflytning av ansvar og oppgaver fra statlig nivå til kommunenivå (Oterholm, 2016). Det har ført til at lederne innen profesjonalisert velferd skal ivareta et vidt spenn av krav og hensyn.…”

This chapter provides an overview of key concepts and theoretical perspectives used in the anthology and points out fundamental challenges in the practice of professional welfare. ‘Competence’ and ‘knowledge’ often have different meanings, and there is a need for increased awareness of the understanding of these concepts. This chapter highlights how the managerial discretion, learning, system blindness, power executing and paradoxes may cause tensions and how these in turn may inhibit the realization of required changes. Internal or external job recruitment may have an impact on managers’ freedom to act. To raise the quality and competence within the professional welfare services, it is necessary to be aware of the unique and multi-faceted challenges in the field.

“…Lederne opplever ofte krysspress i form av motstridende forventninger og krav internt fra andre ledere og kollegaer samt fra nasjonale føringer overfor tjenesten. Krysspresset mellom ulike styringskrav pekes på av flere (Agevall, 2000;Gaim & Wåhlin, 2016;Hood, 1991;Hood & Peters, 2004;Kirkhaug, 2015;Kvello & Moe, 2014;Pettersen & Solstad, 2014;Wällstedt & Almqvist, 2015). Et eksempel på krysspress kan vaere at økonomiske rammer og rapporteringskrav ikke alltid oppleves som forenelig med etiske og profesjonelle hensyn.…”

This chapter on the challenges of interdisciplinary co-operation between Municipal Health/Social Care and Child Protection respectively is based on the directives of public authorities that interactions often challenge interdisciplinary co-operation. The research studies on which we based the discussion indicate that there are several challenges associated with this form of co-operation. The discussion has its basis in the social constructivist perspective, where the focus is on the implications of the ontologies and epistemologies for interdisciplinary co-operation. Further, the discussion shows that interdisciplinary co-operation challenges the hierarchy of knowledge and user participation within the services. The chapter argues that interdisciplinary co-operation has, to some extent, the potential for further knowledge development.

The child welfare service in Norway is in the spotlight internationally after the European Court of Human Rights (EMD) convicted Norway of human rights violations in several child welfare cases. Norwegian child welfare services are presented as having weaknesses in competence, prioritization, structure and supervision. The child welfare service in Norway has a decentralized structure, and most tasks are a municipal responsibility. The paper explores what leadership challenges the municipal child welfare leaders are facing at a time when the service is under great pressure, and how we can understand these challenges using paradox theory. The empirical data are based on qualitative interviews with child welfare leaders from different municipalities in Norway. The study shows that Norwegian child welfare leaders have to deal with increasing complexity, and experience tensions between contradictory demands. Child welfare leaders manage multiple, interrelated paradoxes, and handle tensions in different ways. Further, the study shows that paradoxical tensions challenge the professional judgement and that the child welfare leaders' managerial discretion is reduced. Finally, we discuss the findings as well as the practical implications for managing child welfare services in Norway.
