Våga inte blunda : en studie om förskollärares syn på anmälningsplikt enligt socialtjänstlagen

The aim of this study was to capture preschool-teachers thoughts and experience basing on the obligation. Are there any policies and procedures for preschool-teachers to use when suspicion that a child is being abused occur. Are there some factors that may affect preschool-teachers to report to the social service? How does the preschool-teacher find the contact with the Social Service? I conducted four interviews with four preschool-teachers, two of these preschool teachers are employed at the same municipal preschool and the other two are employed at two other preschools. The interviews were semi-structured and were conducted at each individual’s workplace. To analyze my result, I used symbolic interactionism as a theory. The result shows that pree-schoolteachers find it difficult to use the mandatory notification law and lack of routines and not functional collaboration between the preschool and the social service are also some reasons why preschool teachers finds it difficult to report
