Barns medvirkning i nemnda – samtale med nemndsleder Kathrine Sevheim, del 2

from Kafé Student – UiS podkast · host NettOp UiS

I denne episoden av Kafé Student fortsetter samtalen mellom Wenche Hovland og nemndsleder Kathrine Sevheim om barns medvirkning i saker som behandles i Barneverns- og helsenemnda. Med utgangspunkt i møter Sevheim har hatt med advokater, akademikere, barnevernsansatte og andre fagpersoner, utforsker de hvordan barns rett til å bli hørt forstås og praktiseres på tvers av profesjoner.   Samtalen løfter frem både utviklingen og dilemmaene knyttet til barns medvirkning. Flere barn får i dag mulighet til å bli hørt i saker som angår deres eget liv, men dette reiser også viktige spørsmål om hvordan samtaler kan gjennomføres på en trygg måte, hvor små barn som kan høres, og hvordan barns rettigheter kan ivaretas uten at de utsettes for unødig belastning.   Et gjennomgående tema i episoden er betydningen av god informasjon, trygghet og forberedelse. Sevheim og Hovland reflekterer også over rollen til tillitspersoner, samarbeid mellom profesjoner og barneverntjenestens ansvar for å legge til rette for at barns stemmer blir hørt gjennom hele prosessen – ikke bare i selve nemndsmøtet.   Episoden synliggjør samtidig et viktig skille: Å få frem barnets stemme er ikke det samme som å sikre reell medvirkning. Reell medvirkning krever en prosess der barn både må få tilstrekkelig og forståelig informasjon, oppleve å bli lyttet til, få hjelp til meningsdanning og til å uttrykke sine meninger, få sine synspunkter inkludert i prosessen og bli involvert i beslutningsprosessen. Denne prosessen forutsetter bevisste voksne, tydelige rammer og kontinuerlig refleksjon over hva som er barnets beste for medvirkning i den enkelte situasjonen.   In this episode of Kafé Student, the conversation between Wenche Hovland and tribunal chair Kathrine Sevheim continues, focusing on children’s participation in cases considered by the Child Welfare and Health Tribunal. Drawing on meetings Sevheim has had with lawyers, academics, child welfare professionals and other practitioners, the episode explores how children’s right to be heard is understood and practiced across different professions. The conversation highlights both the development and the dilemmas associated with children’s participation. Today, more children are given the opportunity to be heard in matters that concern their own lives, but this also raises important questions about how conversations can be conducted in a safe manner, how young children can be involved, and how children’s rights can be safeguarded without exposing them to unnecessary strain. A recurring theme in the episode is the importance of clear information, safety and preparation. Sevheim and Hovland also reflect on the role of support persons, collaboration between professions, and the responsibility of the child welfare services to facilitate children’s voices being heard throughout the entire process – not only in the tribunal hearing itself. The episode also highlights an important distinction: bringing forward the child’s voice is not the same as ensuring genuine participation. Genuine participation requires a process in which children receive sufficient and understandable information, experience being listened to, are supported in forming and expressing their views, have their perspectives included in the process, and are involved in decision-making. Such a process requires attentive adults, clear frameworks and continuous reflection on what constitutes the child’s best interests for participation in each individual situation.
