Syftet med studien var att undersöka vad personal på HVB-hemmet i Lagan gör för ensamkommande flyktingbarn, vilka känslor de ställs inför samt hur känslorna hanteras. Vi genomförde en kvalitativ studie där resultaten bygger på intervjuer och en observation. Personalen arbetar med att socialisera in ungdomarna i samhället. De finns till som stöd och försöker ge dem en meningsfull vardag genom att exempelvis uppmuntra ungdomarna till deltagande i fritidsaktiviteter.Personalen påverkas emotionellt av sitt arbete. De upplever främst glädje men det förekommer situationer där även frustration, oro eller otillräcklighet kan uppstå.

Antalet Ensamkommande barn ökar, både i Sverige och i övriga Europa. Trots det finns det inga tydliga riktlinjer för hur arbetet med barn som fått permanent uppehållstillstånd ska se ut. Tidigare forskning tar upp resilience som en viktig aspekt i samband med Ensamkommande barn. Teorin resilience handlar om förmågan att återhämta sig och att man når ett tillfredsställande resultat trots erfarenheter av situationer som innebär en risk att utveckla psykosociala problem. Vårt syfte med uppsatsen var därför att undersöka om personalens arbete leder till att öka barnens resilience. För att studera detta ville vi ta reda på vilka egenskaper hos barnen som personalen ser som viktiga för en sund utveckling och hur personalen stöttar dem att tillvarata sin inre styrka.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka hur ensamkommande flyktingbarn och personal på ett urval av boenden, upplever de insatser som görs för att underlätta integrering i samhället, med fokus på skola, fritid och språk. Vi använde oss av fyra stycken halvstrukturerade intervjuer, med personal och boenden, fördelade på två olika boenden. Detta för att få en inblick i det aktiva arbetet med integration samt upplevelsen av huruvida det gett något resultat. Vi grundade vår analys på identitetsteorin samt systemteorin. Viktiga resultat var bland annat vikten av att hitta rätt personer när man som ensamkommande flyktingbarn kommer till ett nytt land.

The aim of this study is to examine which factors in the receiving-country that have had an influence on three now adult unaccompanied refugee children. The method used in the study is qualitative interviews with the three above-mentioned participants.

Den 1 juli 1994 tra?dde lagen (1994:137) om mottagandet av asylso?kande barn i kraft och i den lagen regleras Migrationsverkets huvudansvar i denna fra?ga.

The purpose of this study was principally to illuminate and describe how the alteration in law (1994:137) about the reception of asylum seekers and others has been implemented at some different authorities in Sweden, according to separated children; children who have fled to Sweden without their parents or other adult guardians. Beside this I want to, as a part, describe how the child perspective looks like at the authorities. The study refers to illuminate and describe the first time for the separated children in Sweden, which means from the arrival and about one year ahead. Qualitative interviews have been used as a method to especially investigate how the subjects of my interview understand their commission according to the separated children, how the practice situation looks like for and according to the separated children in relation to existing laws and instructions and finally how my subjects of interview think about the above mentioned alteration in law (1994:137), which means distribution of responsibility between Swedish authorities.My study showed that there were implementation problems according to the alteration in law (1994:137). The intentions to make it better for the separated children through the law alteration don't work in a good or satisfying way in the practice situation..

The purpose of this study was to investigate what competence social workers have, don´t 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.
