The Swedish public sector has been influenced by an increased demand for efficiency, legal security and scientific evidence during the last decades. As a result, the framework Children’s Needs in Focus (BBIC) was developed to be used by the social services within child welfare work. Every municipality in Sweden has the license required to use BBIC, however there are limited studies conducted regarding social workers' experience of working with the framework. The aim of this study was to explore what social workers’ experiences are from working with BBIC. Furthermore, the study aimed to explore what kind of obstacles and opportunities there are with working with the framework. In order to capture the social workers experience, five semi-structured interviews were carried out. The results show that the interviewed social workers have an overall positive experience of working with BBIC. BBIC was found to be a tool that benefits both the professionals and also the client by creating legal security and increased client participation. Eventhough some obstacles were mentioned, these were not linked to BBIC itself but rather to a lack of knowledge of the framework. Gathering the social workers experience, the described obstacles and opportunities, the results clearly show that professional competence, professional discretion and organizational support are key factors required to work with BBIC.
