Young children are not sufficiently listened to and included in their own case decisions in Child Welfare Services. A European development project has been tasked with tackling the issue.

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Norwegian Constitution and Norway’s Child Welfare Act all state that children have the right to participate in all matters that concern them. Child welfare workers are also duty-bound to work with children and parents and assist them as much as possible.

Nevertheless, research indicates that young children in the CWS do not have the opportunity to participate enough in their own cases, and that the CWS does not provide satisfactory arrangements for the youngest children to partner in decisions for their lives.

Although child welfare staff are aware of the problem, they don’t know enough about available tools and methods that can promote good communication and cooperation with the youngest children.

This means that too many children are excluded from their own case decisions, without understanding the reasoning behind them.

Now a European development project has been tasked with sharing experiences across national borders and coming up with solutions to enable the CWS to meet and include the youngest children in better ways.
