In this paper, I study how a new law (the Convention on the Rights of the Child) is implemented in Lomma municipality. I investigate how the new law has been implemented in the municipality and how my informants experience their room of maneuver to carry out the changes required to implement the law in their business. Methodological tools used are interviews with four informants. The analysis is guided by Lundquist's theory of implementation as well as Lipsky's theory of room of maneuver. The study results in that the implementation of the law has mainly taken place through the appointment of a working group with responsibility for the implementation. After that nothing more significant has happened in the implementation process. The informants have a room for maneuver, but are strongly influenced by management and the policy framework. Therefore, it will be difficult for the informants to fully implement the law in the business. It is not possible to draw generalizing conclusions based on the results because it is a specific case that is being analyzed, but similar studies with other municipalities in focus are examples of future research areas.
