Child
Protection in Norway: Changing Ideologies
Torill Tjelflaat
ABSTRACT
A frame of reference from which to understand children and
their families in a family policy perspective is developed
along with examples of social benefits related to families.
The focus is on
child protection in Norway, and the ideological basis for
changes influencing the services for children in need. Key
issues are:
(1) the shift from care to prevention, and,
(2) care and preventive strategies.
How is the child defined and understood in child protection
work related to ideology, legislation, practice and research?
