“…The category "institutional staff" is only available for the adolescents in RYC. -Hansen et al, 2011;Jozefiak et al, 2016;Kepper et al, 2014). It will therefore be important for the institutional staff to monitor how social relationships develop and affect the adolescents' daily functioning while in RYC.…”

Social support may be of particular importance for vulnerable adolescents' development and health and can help them to cope with stressful life events. However, knowledge of perceived social support among adolescents in Residential Youth Care (RYC) is sparse. The present study therefore aimed to investigate perceived social support among adolescents in Norwegian RYC (N = 304, mean age 16.3 years, girls 57.2%), using a short form of the Social Support Questionnaire. The results were compared with adolescents in the general population. The findings revealed that adolescents in RYC reported a lower number of support persons compared with the general population. Both populations reported a decreasing number of support persons as they aged, except for girls in RYC. The adolescents in both populations were satisfied with the support perceived, especially those with the highest number of support persons. However, social support providers differed between the two populations; RYC adolescents reported their extended family, other sources of support, and the institutional staff more often and their parents less. The findings are important for adolescents living in RYC, as knowledge of their social support network could influence the current practices and ensure contact with important support persons, affecting their development and health.

“…The Norwegian government has launched policy initiatives to increase guidance and regulation of the child welfare field by implementing several new models and programs for treatment that are considered evidence-based: Parent Management Training, Multisystemic Therapy, Aggression Replacement Training (ART), Contingency Management, and MultifunC (Andreassen, 2005;Backe-Hansen, 2009;Backe-Hansen, Bakketeig, Gautun, & Backer Grønningsaeter, 2011;Gotvassli et al, 2014;Hassel Kristoffersen, Holth, & Ogden, 2011;Myrvold et al, 2011;Schjelderup, Omre, & Marthinsen, 2005;Storø, Bunkholdt, & Larsen, 2010). The new programs emphasize, among other factors, methodological standardization (Hassel Kristoffersen et al, 2011;Schjelderup et al, 2005).…”

“…In 2010 one in three in residential care came from other countries, mostly from Africa or Asia. Special residential homes for young unaccompanied asylum seekers aged 15 or younger are not included here (Backe-Hansen et al, 2011). During the same year, one in four foster children had immigrant backgrounds, an increase from 14 per cent in 1995 (Clausen, personal communication).…”

“…Reviews of research from Norway shows that both children and young people in foster care and in residential care may have severe emotional, mental and cognitive problems (Backe-Hansen, Egelund, & Havik, 2010;Backe-Hansen et al, 2011). These children mainly come from one-parent families, mostly female-headed.…”

An overview of the current situation in the out-of-home care in Norway and Sweden is presented in this article; also the development in later years is described and discussed. Socially, politically and culturally there are few differences between Norway and Sweden. Child protection and out-of-home placement of children and young people are integrated parts in the welfare state that are shared by the Nordic countries. It is a model that builds on principles of universalism and decommodification of social rights. The welfare model presupposes high public legitimacy for a high level of social expenditure. However the idea of marketization and privatization has also affected the welfare model in Sweden and Norway. Although there are more similarities than differences between the two countries' child protection systems, the article discusses some differences, for example the after care services, new groups of children and young people in the out-of-home care, like young unaccompanied asylum seekers. There are also some differences when it comes to privatization, the introduction of evidence-based methods in the child protection system and the tension between general and residual services for children and young people in the child protection system.
