Uppsatsen riktar fokus på socionomers bild av ansvarsfördelning kring samverkan mellan välfärdssamhällets aktörer, inom det sociala trygghetssystemet. För att minska risken att klienter faller mellan stolarna. Studiens material grundas i ett fiktivt fall där individen blir slussad mellan olika aktörer och riskerar att falla mellan stolarna. Materialet samlades in med hjälp av vinjettmetodik inom ramen för ett enkätutskick. Resultatet av studien kopplades till teorier om samverkan och copingstrategier som beskriver socionomernas bemästringsförmåga. Slutsatsen av studien var att socionomerna ansåg att klienter som hänvisas mellan välfärdssamhällets aktörer var vanligt förekommande. På grund av hög arbetsbörda och stress hade socionomerna problem med att stötta individerna. Det resulterade i att individerna som befann sig i gränslandet mellan olika aktörer inte fick det stöd som de behövde. Detta kunde på sikt leda till att en redan utsatt individ som befann sig i gränslandet mellan olika aktörer drabbades av en dubbel utsatthet, då den riskerade att falla mellan stolarna i det svenska trygghetssystemet.

Previous studies show that different groups of people fall between the cracks and that is a problem in society. One of these groups that tend to fall between the cracks are people with intellectual disabilities, since the transition between school and occupation is especially hard for the targeted group. That’s why we, in this essay, have studied how Social services, The Swedish employment agency and the adapted high school works with young adults aged 18-25 with intellectual disability so that they will get an occupation and not fall between the cracks. We also have studied what consequences not having an occupation can give, according to the professionals working with the group. To study this, we used a qualitative method through semi structured interviews and vignette study. To analyze the empirics we’ve used the theory collaboration and previous studies. We interviewed three professionals from The Swedish employment agency, three professionals from adapted high school and two professionals from Social services. The conclusion was that there were a minimal risk that young adults with intellectual disability will fall between the cracks in the specific municipality because of a strong safety net. However, it appeared that the authorities had flaws in their way of working that could increase the risk of adults with intellectual disability falling between the cracks. We also found that adults with intellectual disability did experience consequences like mental health issues and financial vulnerability by not having an occupation.
