Abstract [en]

Children with incarcerated parents are a socially vulnerable social group, who, despite their vulnerability, is a social group that is often deprioritized by society's authorities. Despite the introduction of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Swedish law, shortcomings are emerging regarding how the convention is translated in practice both in Sweden and also in an international context. The aim of the study is to investigate the perceptions of social workers regarding the work with children with incarcerated parents, in order to create a deeper understanding of the conditions for translating the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the work of social services with these children. The study's data has been collected through semi-structured interviews with social workers. The empirical data has been analyzed through a qualitative content analysis. The theoretical starting points the study is based on are the institutional organization theory and its theoretical concept organizational translation. The main results of the study show that the translation of the convention in working with the target group has taken place in certain areas where the children are now seen as active actors and bearers of rights and that the child's perspective is taken into account more than before. Despite the fact that the translation of the convention brought several advantages in the work of social workers, it can be stated that a translation of the entire convention has not yet taken place. Factors such as social workers working methods and organizational conditions not being prioritized, has prevented a complete translation of the convention when working with children whose parents are incarcerated. In conclusion, it can be stated that organizational changes take time. What the translation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child entails in practice will therefore not be seen until a few years from now, when it has been implemented in legislation for several years.
