Abstract [en]

In Sweden, a child who has experienced child abuse, can be interviewed by the police without the parents’ knowledge or consent. Afterwards, the parents receive the information from both the police and the social services. About thirty percentage of the children are taken care of immediately after the interview, while the rest are going home to their parents. Social work professionals acknowledged the importance of giving support to families after the police interview, as a crisis can occur in these kinds of situations. Therefore, a model has been developed, called After the child interview [Efter barnförhöret] (ACI). This study reports the interim findings from a program-theory evaluation of ACI: what interventions have been conducted after finishing ACI and what are the characteristics of these interventions? How many children have been taken care of by the social service after finishing ACI, and how many children have been reported to the social services again after the case has been closed? Data consists of social investigations, which we analyze quantitatively and qualitatively. In all, we will collect 200 investigations; 100 where ACI has been used, and 100 where ASI has not been used. Thus, we can compare these two groups. The work of collecting and analyzing social investigations is ongoing, and there are no results yet. What we can see from early processing of data, is that many cases are very complex and the families are often known by the social services for many reasons, not just child abuse. Very few children seem to be taken care of by the authorities, while many have been reported to the social services again.
