– Heimebesøk to children who might be subject to neglect, are located outside the school’s expertise and responsibility, but many of us are worried for the children and pupils in vulnerable situations. If we are worried is my advice that we notify and ensure that the appropriate agency follows up, “says Skjæveland Lode,” says Skjæveland Lode.
She think about the teachers and barnehagelærarar starts to travel on the heimebesøk it can lead to usikkerheit around the division of roles and who has responsibility for what.
Duty to warn, not to intervene
Mimmi Kvisvik, forbundsleiar in Fellesorganisasjonen, which organizes barnevernsarbeidarar, einig. She points out that the school, the kindergarten and child welfare already has a close cooperation and a clear division of roles.
– We must use the systems we have, namely to report to the child welfare service, if one is worried that a child is subject to violence, neglect, or that one sees that there are serious åtferdsvanskar. So is it child welfare authorities say a duty to examine the situation, and possibly go further, ” says Kvisvik.
She says it works like that minister of children and equality has not understood what is child welfare and what is the school saying the role.
– the education act extends not to heimebesøk. So, if one is worried that a child is mishandla, would I used meldeplikta mi to child welfare, ” says Kvisvik.

Kvisvik experience that Ropstad has not been cooperating well enough with fagorganisasjonane under koronakrisa. She says that even after four weeks, there is little that has been done to help the children who are subject to violence and abuse, and otherwise has the unsafe at home.
To this reply Ropstad that they have used the professional competence in the areas they have in both the ministry of children and family affairs and in the directorate.
– It is important to notify from child welfare if a is the dislocation of neglect, but when the children are no longer at the school and in the kindergarten, we have to be additional caught the attention. I think many will take the contact on the phone, but it is also a fine thing to seek out kids and families, ” says Ropstad.
Despite the criticism, the opinion he most families and children would appreciate a visit, and that one should contact the child welfare authorities if the visit makes a dislocation.
Both Kvisvik and Skjæveland Lode think there is a difference between taking a phone home and to go so far that one is traveling on heimebesøk.
– It is clear that the teachers care, but we tend not to travel home to the students just to see how they have it at home. It is not the way we work, leaving Skjæveland Lode.
