The purpose of this study was to investigate what competence social workers have, donÂŽt have and ask for in the work with unaccompanied children, how a lack of competence and guidelines has been compensated in the practical work and how the social workers view the future work with unaccompanied children. This has been done through eight semi-structured interviews with social workers who work with unaccompanied children. The result has been analyzed with help of the theoretical perspective globalization connected to social work and showed that none of the social workers felt not having the competence to work with the children. However, everyone mention one or more areas where they ask for competence development. The study showed that lack of education has been compensated through practical experiences, knowledge exchange with others and that guidelines now have been formed.

The purpose of this paper was to examine social workers' experiences of integration of unaccompanied children. We aimed to study which factors in the individual and the community social workers experience affect the integration and how they, based on their understanding, work to promote integration. The essay has a phenomenological approach and focuses on the social workers' own experiences of the phenomenon. The empirical data was obtained from qualitative interviews conducted with five social workers, all administrators in cases involving unaccompanied children. The result shows that the social workers feel that the desire to integrate is the most important presumption that must be present in the unaccompanied children.

The aim of the present study is to examine which need®s unaccompanied children in adulthood describe as significant. Furthermore the study aims to examine if the participants experience that they have received the support they need from Örebro Municipality?s unit for unaccompanied children.

In 2006 there was a change in LMA (1994:37) that clarified the division of responsibility be-tween the Migration Board and the municipalities, concerning unaccompanied children. The social services should now be utmost responsible for the housing and care of these children, to assure that they gain the same standards and rights as all other children. The aim of this essay has been to examine how the division of responsibility has influenced the work of the social services and how they interpret their responsibility for the unaccompanied children. How do the social services investigate and make decisions concerning these children? Do these chil-dren have the same rights as other children? To answer these questions a legal study was made, followed by qualitative research interviews with four social services that receive unac-companied children.

Syftet med studien Àr att kartlÀgga och beskriva hur förskolan möjliggör för barnen  att uppleva teknik i uterummet och vilka förutsÀttningar som finns för att ytterligare stimulera dem för Àmnet. Jag ger en beskrivning av denna verksamhet vid fyra förskolor vilka har varierande grad av teknikprofil för att se likheter och skillnader i deras arbets- och förhÄllningssÀtt. De metoder som jag anvÀnder mig av Àr dokumentation av förskolegÄrden samt intervjuer med pedagoger och barn. Mina huvudresultat visar att faktorer som pÄverkar teknikimplementering i förskolan bestÄr av utbildning och intresse hos ledning, pedagoger, barn och förÀldrar. Förskolorna anvÀnder gÄrdens fysiska förutsÀttningar för att uppleva tekniken och erbjuder barnen till största delen bygg- och konstruktionsmaterial.

VÄr studie undersöker tolkens betydelse i kommunikationen mellan handledare pÄ HVB och ensamkommande flyktingbarn. Vi fokuserade frÀmst pÄ möjligheter och brister som finns i tolkning idag, men Àven för att kunna förbÀttra handledarnas arbetssÀtt med barnen.  Vi har genomfört en kvalitativ studie dÀr vi har intervjuat fyra tolkar och fyra handledare pÄ HVB. För att analysera vÄrt resultat har vi anvÀnt oss av tre kommunikationsmodeller och Habermas teori om det kommunikativa handlandet. Modellerna har anvÀnts för att förklara specifika tolkningssituationer mellan barnen och handledare, och Habermas teori har vi anvÀnt för att förklara tolkningen utifrÄn samhÀllet. I studien framkommer det att tolkningen ger goda möjligheter för att skapa en kommunikation mellan tvÄ individer.

Earlier this year the Swedish migration board gave a part of their responsibility for the separated children to those municipalities that have signed an agreement with them, so that the children can get the best handling of their matters and also to lift the heavy pressure of the Swedish migration board. Our aim in this paper is to see how this division is made and which areas of responsibility they have. We want to see how this process is being handled in relation to these children?s rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Swedish law. To get the best information possible we used a qualitative method.

Many children and adolescents up to the age eighteen come from other countries alone to Sweden to seek asylum. Sweden receives many unaccompanied children and the number of unaccompanied children is increasing every year. There are various reasons to why the unaccompanied children flee their homeland to come to Sweden. Many of the unaccompanied children come from countries such as Somalia, Afghanistan and Eritrea. The unaccompanied children?s families choose to send their children to Sweden to protect them from armed conflict and other social or political unrest going on in their homeland. This essay aims to explore how the integration of the newly arrived unaccompanied children works in schools.

The aim of this study was to reach an understanding of how young adults with permanent residence permit, who came to Sweden as unaccompanied asylum seeking minors, experience their confrontation with the Swedish society. Another purpose was to understand how these young adults view Sweden and its inhabitants, as well as the experience of starting a new life in Sweden. In order to investigate these questions, a qualitative method consisting of five interviews with five young men was conducted.The results showed that the respondents feared the meeting with the immigration board and that they feel that school is divided in two groups, Swedes and immigrants. People with nonethnic Swedish background who have lived in Sweden for a long time are seen as Swedes, and in that meaning assimilated. One important conclusion we made was that the division between Swedes and immigrants have a negative influence on the immigrantsÂŽ integration in the society.
