Need for Knowledge- What, Where and How? Social Workers Handle Service and Support för Individuals With Disability
- 2022
-
In: British Journal of Social Work. - Oxford : Oxford University Press. - 0045-3102 .- 1468-263X. ; 52:7, s. 4108-4126

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article investigates the need and sources of knowledge among LSS administrators in Sweden (i.e. social workers handling service and support for individuals with disability according to the Swedish Disability Act [LSS]). Changing and challenging working conditions and issues concerning professional status warrant the aim. A questionnaire distributed via gatekeepers in a number of municipalities demonstrated that knowledge about ‘disability’, ‘law’, ‘ethics’ and ‘augmentative and alternative communication’ was rated highly. This result is particularly interesting given that many social work education programmes do not have compulsory courses in disability. Colleagues appear to be relied upon as essential sources of support and knowledge, but the knowledge sharing seems unorganised. Findings are discussed in relation to communities of practice (CoP) and shows that, due to the lack of essential knowledge from formal education and the strong dependence on colleagues, a locally developed praxis might be established. Inadequate theoretical and research-based knowledge, together with this local praxis knowledge, may result in the LSS administrators’ work becoming inadequate. A specialist education in disability studies is proposed as a prerequisite for being employed as an LSS administrator, and the inclusion of a theoretical and scientific framework in the regular CoP interaction is also recommended.

Societal services after traumatic spinal cord injury in Sweden
- 2003
-
In: Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine. - : Medical Journals Sweden AB. - 1650-1977 .- 1651-2081. ; 35:3, s. 121-126
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: Societal services after traumatic spinal cord injury in Sweden were investigated, including self-rated levels of satisfaction with the application process and resource allocation.DESIGN: Survey of an incidence population.SUBJECTS: Thirty-four persons of a total regional incidence population (n = 48) with traumatic spinal cord injury.METHODS: Structured interviews using a standardized questionnaire.RESULTS: About 25 separate services were identified being available for persons with traumatic spinal cord injury. The average number of applications per person was 5 (range 0-11). The most common service was "transportation service". Of the applications, 17% were partially or totally rejected. Most subjects received information about available services from a social worker. For 13 available services at least 1 subject claimed ignorance about its existence.CONCLUSIONS: In Sweden, significant resources are allocated for allowing independence and financial compensation for individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury. However, this support system sometimes also results in frustration and disappointment. Insufficient information and co-ordination are reported as weaknesses. The persons' efforts to acquire knowledge of how the system works take time which could be better used for rehabilitation and full integration into the community.

Still waiting for the hand to be raised : On being crip killjoys at an ableist university
- 2022
-
In: Accessibility Denied. - London : Routledge. - 9781003120452 - 9780367637286 ; , s. 107-122

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter is based on collaborative autoethnography about being disabled in contemporary working life. It draws from the two authors’ experiences as instructors and researchers at a Swedish university and focuses on examples of inaccessibility in everyday situations. Disabled people are underrepresented in academia and disabled academics are hindered from fully participating. We find ableist structures and practices within working life and the current neoliberal organisation, together with the individualisation of work environment problems and diffuse responsibility, as the main obstacles to accessibility. The chapter opens up a critique of hindrances to accessibility within the academic walls. It is proposed that the focus be shifted from the problematised outsider to how ableism, built on the idea of the normal worker, excludes. While waiting for the person responsible for accessibility to raise his or her hand, one way of achieving change is to become crip killjoys, and thus pay attention to injustice.

Oförutsebar rättssäkerhet : En granskning av handläggning enligt LSS
- 2023
-
In: Retfærd. - : Jurist- og Økonomforbundets Forlag. - 0105-1121. ; 46:4, s. 71-86
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Artikelns resultat baserar sig på en enkätstudie till handläggare inom funktionshinderområdet i Sverige och redovisar deras arbetssituation, med fokus på konsekvenser for enskildas rättssäkerhet. Det övergripande syftet med artikeln ar att belysa aspekter av rättssäkerhet i ärenden enligt LSS. Rättssäkerhet är ett begrepp som givits flera betydelser, framfär allt en formell och en materiell definition (Peczenik, 1995). Vi argumenterar för att den materiella definitionen hör bättre samman med lagmotivens, liksom funktionsrättskonventionens (CRPD) fokus på mänsklig värdighet och likvärdigt bemötande vad avser LSS tillämpning. Resultaten visar att flera LSS-handläggare inte anser att deras hemkommuner fattar rättssäkra beslut och att utförda bedömningar är lite av gissningar eftersom tydliga riktlinjer saknas. Vidare anges att arbetsledare ger instruktioner om vilka insatser som får beviljas och vilka som ska avslås, utifrån budgethänsyn snarare än bedömningar av behov. Enkätsvaren redovisar också situationer där brukare blivit kränkande bemötta. Sammantaget leder detta till en oförutsebar rättssäkerhet for brukaren.
