We warmly welcome you to an open Seminar: PRIVATISATION in SOCIAL SERVICES OF THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES: expert knowledge and the position of service users
The majority of the study concerning privatisation of social services and health services has focused on financial and economic issues – especially from the interests of the public health services. In this seminar, the attention is directed toward social services: We focus on child and family services, as well as on child protection issues. The trend of the privatisation has influenced child protection issues already for some time, but surprisingly has gained little attention in the field of research.
The seminar presents current research in relation to the privatisation matters of the social services of children and families. The position of the children and parents who use these services, as well as the impacts on the experts’ action and knowledge, will also be the topics of this seminar.
The seminar languages are Finnish and English
