The child’s or the family homes’ best intentions : conflict of interests during collaborations between private businesses and authority (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka socialsekreterares uppfattning av samarbetet med både företag och familjer vid konsulentstödda familjehemsplaceringar. Studien utfördes genom kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer med ett urval som innefattar socialsekreterare som samarbetade eller har samarbetat med konsulentstödda familjehem. Studiens resultat visade att socialsekreterarnas uppfattning om samarbetet med konsulentstödda familjehem bestått av fler utmaningar och högre arbetsbelastning genom omständligare kommunikationsvägar med familjehemmen. Utmaningarna bestod även av svårigheter vid skapandet av goda relationer mellan familjehem och socialtjänst, icke godkända familjer som föreslagits av konsulenter likt lämpliga familjehem och intressekonflikter mellan de privata och offentliga aktörerna. Detta diskuterades utifrån hur verksamheternas mål med samarbetet styrts av organisationskulturer, vilket format både familjehemmens, konsulenterna och socialsekreterarnas uppfattning om sin egen roll.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to explore social secretaries’ perception of collaborating with both family and company when working with consulted foster care. The study was conducted through qualitative, semi-structured interviews with social secretaries who were, or had been, collaborating with consulted foster care. The results of the study show that social secretaries’ perception of collaborating with consulted family homes seems to contain challenges and a higher level of workload because of complex communication routs with the family homes. The challenging aspects contained difficulties in relationship building between socials services and family homes, not accepted families get suggested by the consults as if they were approved for the assignment and conflicts of interest between the private and the public operators. In this study the discussion will be based on possible arguments the agencies intentions with the collaboration through organizational culture that shapes both the family homes, the counsellors and social secretaries’ perception of their role during the collaboration.
