“Han har ju aldrig rört barnen då är det ingen fara” : En kvalitativ studie om socialsekreterares upplevelser och erfarenheter i arbetet med att upptäcka barn som bevittnar våld mellan närstående / “He has never laid hands on the children, then it ́s alright” : A qualitative study about social workers experiences in the work of discovering children who experience violence between relatives

This essay touches on social workers experiences in the work of discovering children who have experienced violence. The social workers experiences in the work of discovering children who have witnessed domestic violence has shown to be very complex and previous studies have shown that the social services work is flawed. That is why we saw an interest in understanding the social workers point of view in this problem. The essay's result is built upon six semi-structured interviews with social workers who are active in their line of work. The result of the interviews was analyzed with the help of Michael Lipsky's theory “Street-level bureaucracy” and previous studies on the subject. The essay has shown that children’s voices have to be heard in order for the social workers to identify their exposure to violence. Other important aspects with the work of finding children who have experienced violence is the cooperation with other institutions such as the school and the police, as well as the importance of the social workers experience. Some of the difficulties that the social workers experienced were uncooperative parents, lack of time, high workload as well as the problems with the social services act and the care of young persons (special provisions) act in correlation to each other.
