<strong>Socialtjänstens</strong> <strong>förebyggande</strong> <strong>arbete</strong> <strong>med</strong> <strong>barn</strong>, unga och familjer<br />

kommuner i Stockholms län<br />

Little research has previously been done on social preventative work. No general survey<br />
of social preventative work directed at families has been done in Sweden. The aim of this<br />
study is to describe how the social services in the area of Stockholm view preventative<br />
work, what type of preventative work they offer and the extent of their collaboration with<br />
other vocational fields in this regard. The study is based on telephone interviews with 18<br />
managers of child welfare services and has a predominantly quantitative design. The<br />
main theoretical starting point is the concept of prevention. The analysis is mainly based<br />
on different levels of prevention; primary, secondary and tertiary. The main finding of the<br />
study is that secondary prevention, e.g. Parent Education Programs, is the most common<br />
form of prevention. The results indicate that a significant part of all preventative work<br />
directed at children and youths reaches its intended recipients indirectly, mainly via their<br />
parents. The study also shows that tertiary prevention in the form of counselling is<br />
offered considerably more often to youths than to children. Furthermore, certain forms of<br />
tertiary prevention which normally require investigation are now found to be offered<br />
without formal decision of intervention.<br />
