An amendment to the Child Welfare Act to make it easier for the child welfare service to order help measures is now being circulated for comment.
Et lovforslag som skal gjøre det enklere for barnevernet å pålegge hjelpetiltak sendes nå på høring.
The purpose of the amendment is to improve children’s situation and avoid invasive measures such as care orders.
Formålet med lovendringen er å forbedre situasjonen til barnet og forebygge inngripende tiltak som omsorgsovertakelse.
– The parents are the most important persons in a child’s life, and we want children to grow up with their parents, says Minister of Children, Equality and Social Inclusion Solveig Horne.
– Foreldrene er de viktigste personene i et barns liv, og vi ønsker at barn skal vokse opp hos foreldrene sine, sier barne-, likestillings- og inkluderingsminister Solveig Horne.
This may avoid the need for the child welfare service to take over the care of the children at a later date.
Det kan forhindre at barnevernet må overta omsorgen for barna på et senere tidspunkt.
New help measures
Nye hjelpetiltak
In the consultation paper, the Ministry proposes that it shall be possible to impose three new main categories of time-limited measures.
I høringsnotatet foreslår departementet at det skal kunne pålegges tre nye hovedkategorier av tiltak for en tidsbegrenset periode.
This assumes that voluntary measures have been tried or considered.
Dette forutsetter at frivillige tiltak er forsøkt eller vurdert.
Such measures involve various forms of parental guidance.
Tiltak vil være ulike former for foreldreveiledning.
Control measures The objective is to control that children are not subjected to abuse or maltreatment.
Kontrolltiltak Målet er å kontrollere at barn ikke utsettes for overgrep eller mishandling.
– Regard for the best interests of the children must take precedence, and parents must therefore not be entitled to refuse necessary help.
– Hensynet til barna må veie tyngst, og derfor skal ikke foreldrene kunne avvise nødvendig hjelp.
More supervision of the home
Mer tilsyn i hjemmet
Supervision cannot currently be imposed unless the strict conditions for issuing a care order are present.
I dag kan tilsyn først pålegges når de strenge vilkårene for omsorgsovertakelse er til stede.

The current Norwegian Government has made global health and education top priorities because we know that efforts in these areas promote economic growth and development,’ Mr Brende said.
Satsing på global helse og utdanning er hovedprioriteringer for regjeringen, fordi vi vet at innsats på disse områdene bidrar til økonomisk vekst og utvikling, sier utenriksminister Brende.
