Background: Placed children have a higher risk of mental illness and negative development but it does not mean one can predict that it will go in a certain way for a certain child. Children belonging to a risk group can do well and vice versa, but it is the community and family care to balance the risk of a negative development Purpose: In this paper, the authors want to draw attention to the problems of children placed children's mental-being. The focus is on three different factors to get a broader picture of what may affect the mental health of foster children. Method: Descriptive literature review of scientific articles and literature. Results: The factors that form the basis of our study is continuous / discontinuous contact with the biological parents, interrupted foster placement and school outcomes for foster children. Theories selected to connect the various factors related theory and risk and protective factors. The results that have emerged show that foster children and young people feel worse than other children and young people who have not been children placed. School results are adversely affected by foster placement which has emerged in our study, and it is of great importance to the social, school, and family home cooperating to act against this. Conclusion: Reports and literature has been quite agree that foster children feel worse than other children in the community. The various factors that the study has highlighted, there was very little empirical data to collect, why did the authors broaden and think internationally. It would be desirable if it could be researched further in this area of ​​research the more there are, the more knowledge is given to social workers who work with disadvantaged children in their everyday lives.

Currently, a great schism exists in the way that the law of financial provision treats cohabiting and married couples on relationship breakdown. Given that research consistently demonstrates that women are predominantly responsible for carrying out homemaking activities regardless of employment status, at the heart of this divide is the way that the law attributes value to this traditionally female role. In the married context, on divorce, breadwinning and homemaking contributions have equal value, yet in the cohabitation context only financial contributions are recognised, with homemaking having no value attributed to it. This polarised approach has received extensive criticism from the courts, the legal profession and the academic community, both for overvaluing domestic contributions in the married context and for ignoring or at best undervaluing them in the cohabitation context. Yet, despite the agreement over the inadequacies in this area, there is a lack of consensus over the direction that reform should take, and so far attempts have been slow and have often come to nothing, especially in the cohabitation context. Furthermore, feminist opinion is divided about whether financial recognition of domestic contributions in family law poses a threat to the financial autonomy of women, encouraging patriarchal financial dependence; or whether such developments redress a glaring inequality inherent in gendered roles freely chosen within the family. Consequently, this project uses the two very differing feminist positions of Ruth Deech and Martha Fineman who embody this divide as the lens through which to explore this dichotomous tension underlying the law in this area. To test out these two feminist stances, this project uses a range of doctrinal, feminist and empirical methodology, namely interviews with legal practitioners, to compare the approaches in New Zealand, Scotland and Queensland, Australia alongside England and Wales, where each jurisdiction differentially reflects a point on a spectrum between Deech and Fineman’s contrasting positions. This project also uses focus groups with members of the public in England and Wales to ascertain the affected communities’ views on these models of financial provision. Drawing on these results, this thesis shall consider how the law of financial provision in England and Wales should divide assets on relationship breakdown in the marriage, civil partnership and the same- and different-sex cohabiting context. Should it promote financial autonomy or should it offer greater protection to those who lead gendered lives in the private sphere?

Familjehemsplaceringar är en viktig insats i den sociala barnavården. Efterfrågan på familjehem är stor medan svårigheterna att rekrytera nya familjehem ökar. Synen på familjehemsvården har förändrats från att ha varit ett permanent ersättningshem till att bli ett kompletterande hem för barnet. Detta innebär att det placerade barnet skall uppmuntras till att ha kontakt och umgänge med de biologiska föräldrarna och målet är att barnet skall flytta hem. Detta innebär att fosterföräldrarna skall samarbeta med barnets biologiska föräldrar. Syftet med denna studie är att förstå hur fosterföräldrarna upplevde sin roll, och hur de samarbetade med de biologiska föräldrarna och vilken roll socialtjänsten hade i detta samarbete. För att få svar på detta så gjorde vi kvalitativa intervjuer med åtta familjehem. Som teoretisk utgångspunkt har vi valt Goffmans (2006) dramaturgiska perspektiv som belyser samspelet mellan olika aktörer. Fosterföräldrarna upplevde att de hade höga krav på sig själva, socialtjänsten och allmänheten. Resultatet visade att respondenterna hade olika erfarenheter, både positiva och negativa, av samarbetet med de biologiska föräldrarna och socialtjänsten. Fosterföräldrarna påtalade att det många gånger var problematiskt att samarbeta med de biologiska föräldrarna och att socialtjänsten hade stor betydelse för att samarbetet skulle bli bra. Fosterfamiljerna lyfte fram att de upplevde det svårt att få en kontinuerlig kontakt med sina socialsekreterare. / Family home placement plays a contributing roll in social childcare. The demand is great for family homes and the need in finding new homes is ever increasing. The way in which family homecare is looked upon has changed and it is no longer regarded as a permanent replacement home but instead as a complementary home for the child. This means that the child who is placed in a family home must be encouraged to have contact and spend time with the biological parents in the aim that the child will return home. Therefore cooperation is necessary between foster parents and the child's biological parents. The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of how the foster parents see their roll and how they interact with the biological parents, as well as the cooperation they receive from social services. In order to answer these questions we have implemented qualitative interviews with eight family homes. We chose to use Goffman's dramaturgical perspective as our theoretical basis in order to highlight the interplay between the different actors. Foster parents felt that they had high expectations of themselves, of the social workers and of the general public. The results of this study show that the respondents had different experiences, both positive and negative in regard to cooperation between the biological parents and the social services. Foster parents complained of difficulties working with the biological parents and that the social services played an important roll in making sure that cooperation between both parties was achieved. Foster families revealed that they found it difficult to uphold regular contact with their social secretary.
