Continuing education in Minority competence in child protection (VUMIBARN)

The program is primarily aimed at employees working in municipal child welfare services across Norway. The program is a collaboration between the Centre for Intercultural Communication (SIK) and the Faculty of Social Sciences at VID Oslo. In this course, students will critically assess and further develop their own knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The focus will be on how processes related to migration, culture, and diversity affect both the life situation of minorities and the interaction between minorities and the child welfare services. The aim is to enable students to assess and apply different perspectives, theories, and evidence-based methods that promote equal and equitable services.
