”Have I missed anyone?” : Staff stories about work in private preschool and mandatory reporting (English)
Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to investigate how private preschool staff perceive their work with children, particularly in relation to how organizational factors may influence their understanding of the child's best interests and their reporting obligations. The study is based on semi-structured interviews conducted with six participants working in groups of children at private preschools. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that preschool staff regarded the reporting obligation as an obvious duty. However, there was hesitations about which signs of vulnerability should be observed, as well as fear of negative consequences when making a report of concern. Furthermore, lack of knowledge regarding the reporting process emerged, which was aggravated by poor collaboration with social services, both in terms of knowledge transfer and feedback. The results were discussed in light of new institutional theory and highlighted how the reporting obligation may be influenced by organizational factors.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studies syfte var att undersöka hur personal på privata förskolor upplever sitt arbete med barn, där barnets bästa och anmälningsplikten kan influeras av organisatoriska faktorer. Studien bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer genomförda med sex informanter som arbetar i barngrupp på privata förskolor. Intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analysmetod. Resultatet visade att förskolepersonalen såg anmälningsplikten som en självklar skyldighet. Samtidigt fanns det osäkerhet kring vilka tecken på utsatthet som bör uppmärksammas, samt en rädsla för negativa konsekvenser vid upprättandet av orosanmälningar. Vidare framkom en brist på kunskap om hur anmälningsprocessen fungerar, vilket förvärrades av bristande samverkan med Socialtjänsten, både när det gäller kunskapsöverföring och återkoppling. Resultatet diskuterades utifrån ny institutionell teori och belyste hur anmälningsplikten kan influeras av organisatoriska faktorer.
