“The tray alerts: Sis in free fall”
“There is widespread abuse, in the Statens institutionsstyrelse (Sis), according to Seko. The local union members testify on threats, violence, working alone, and widespread drug use inside the homes.”
“– We believe that there is an authority who are in freefall, ” says president of the Valle Karlsson.”
“In a new report, beats the trade union Seko alarm about the shortcomings within the Sis, which you now think are so extensive that they are no longer”
“– Now is the problems of the size that we urge both politicians and the authorities to do a total analysis to get to grips with this. It is so serious that you have to sit down and go through this from the ground up, ” says Valle Karlsson.”
“the Report is based inter alia on a from which Seko conducted with approximately 800 members in the Sis in november of last year. 51 percent responded.”
“Of these said the 65 per cent that there are threats every week, and 41 per cent that there is violence every week in their workplace. More than half of them responded to lone work done every week despite the fact that the regulations says that they shall not be less than two.”
“In the substance abuse of adults provide in principle all the respondents, 99 percent, that there are drugs in the home during the treatment.”
“– this is The figures speak a clear language, ” says Valle Karlsson.”
“– this is not right towards those who are cared for or against our members who work in these workplaces, ” he continues.”
TT: it Is surprising that there are threats and violence in the Sis, considering the clients you have to nurture?”
” It’s not surprising that it occurs, the question is what is the authority doing to minimize the appearance. The survey shows, for example, that violation of the regulations to be the two very often. Is you two have been significantly better position to stave off situations of abuse than what you have on you is yourself.”
“Now requires Seko change. Valle Karlsson lists a number of possible actions, as more staff and also staff with somewhat different education than in the day.”
“Sis, admits that deficiencies exist, but believe that the unions’ criticism is too harsh.”
“– A part of the problem highlighted, we know, but we believe that it is too strong to say that there is an agency in free fall, ” says Stefan Hell Fröding, press officer at Sis.”
“It occurs that clients manage to get into drugs, but most of the time be found at visitations and the like,” he says.”
“– It is a challenge for us every day. We have a complex mission and there are very many of our clients who has a disruptive behaviour disorder and a heavy drug addiction.”
“He thinks that it is good that the Sis is reviewed, but does not believe that it needed a total review that the tray requires. Stefan Hell Fröding also stresses that the Sis for the coming year, asked the government for extra funding to strengthen the entire organization.”
“Statens institutionsstyrelse (Sis) is a government agency that is responsible for individually customized forced treatment and the treatment of young people with serious psychosocial problems and adults with substance abuse problems.”
