Improving Child and Youth Care in Skärholmen

The Inspectorate of Healthcare and Welfare (IVO) has reviewed the Skärholmen district administration and found deficiencies in their handling of cases concerning children and youth, particularly regarding checks before placements, processing of welfare concerns, and self-monitoring. The administration partially acknowledges the shortcomings but states that several measures were already implemented during 2025, including reorganization and stricter procedures. They plan further improvements in 2026 to ensure lawful and high-quality handling for children and youth.
