The child welfare service (barnevernet) believes that a child is not getting good enough care at home and wants to take over the care of the child. Who decides the case?
In the exam (Norwegian)
Barnevernet mener at et barn ikke får god nok omsorg hjemme, og vil ta over omsorgen for barnet. Hvem avgjør saken?
- aThe Child Welfare and Health BoardBarneverns- og helsenemndaCorrect answer
- bThe principal of the child's schoolRektoren ved skolen til barnet
- cThe police together with the municipalityPolitiet sammen med kommunen
Why?
The child welfare service cannot decide on taking over care on its own, except in acute emergencies. The case is decided by the Child Welfare and Health Board (barneverns- og helsenemnda), an independent body that before 2023 was called the county social welfare board (fylkesnemnda).
