Inga stora förändringar i socialtjänsten för barn och unga – men ny lagstiftning på horisonten.
Påverkan
Vad handlar det om?
Socialutskottet avslår alla motioner om barn och unga inom socialtjänsten. En ny socialtjänstlag är på gång och träder i kraft 2025. Inga direkta förändringar nu, men framtiden för barnomsorgen utreds.
Motivering
Syftet med betänkandet är att bemöta de förslag som lagts fram i motioner gällande socialtjänstens arbete med barn och unga, samt att redogöra för utskottets ställningstagande i dessa frågor.
Mål
The primary goal is to provide a parliamentary response to motions regarding children and youth within the social services, outlining the committee's position and justifying the rejection of proposed changes based on ongoing work and existing legislation.
Tidslinje - vad förväntas hända?
Kortsiktiga förändringar
One year from now, the most significant consequence will likely be the anticipation and preparation for the implementation of the new Social Services Act in July 2025. Swedish citizens might see increased discussions and information campaigns about the upcoming changes. The issues raised in the rejected motions, such as placement shortages and child poverty, will likely persist, prompting continued debate and potential pressure on the government to take further action.
Medelsiktiga förändringar
Five years from now, the impact of the new Social Services Act will be more evident. If the act is successful in promoting preventative measures, there could be a decrease in the number of children requiring more intensive interventions. The effectiveness of measures to address placement shortages and improve the quality of care in HVB homes will also be apparent. The long-term impact on child poverty will depend on broader economic policies and the effectiveness of targeted support programs.
Långsiktiga förändringar
Ten years from now, the cumulative effect of the policies and initiatives outlined in the betänkande, and subsequent actions, will be more fully realized. A successful implementation of the new Social Services Act, combined with effective strategies to address placement shortages and child poverty, could lead to a significant improvement in the well-being of children and youth in Sweden. Conversely, if the proposed changes are not effective, the challenges facing social services could persist or even worsen, potentially leading to increased social problems and inequality.
