“The overall conclusion in the report is the lack of a sufficient number of different types of accommodation to be able to help children with different problems. The lack leads to that children are often forced to move to new housing when the first or the second or third – does not work, according to BO.”
“– one that acts out violently children, a child with self-injury, or disability can have very different needs, ” says BO Elisabeth Dahlin to the TT.”
” Children who are in care because of violence in the home can end up in the same home as a child with drug problems, it could mean that they are exposed to a lifestyle which they would not have been exposed to otherwise. We have met children who indicate that before was taken care of, they had never been in contact with drugs, ” she says.”

“A further consequence of the migrants is that the schooling is affected when the children move to a new city or town.”
“– is The single strongest protection factor for children placed in care is that they have a completed education, it is the best trampoline in the future. When children move between different types of places, or not go to school for that there is a diagnosutredning, deteriorate their chances in life, ” says Dahlin.”
