The number of unaccompanied children is increasing more than expected. Now forced the Swedish Migration Board Forced placing even more children in the municipalities.
During the first six months were 4544 children to Sweden to seek shelter. That’s 85 percent more than last year and the Swedish Migration Board sees no slowdown, but on the contrary.
The Agency has already forced placed children in municipalities that have not signed agreements or received fewer than the key man figured out prescribes.
But from now on is forced to take further steps – and force even municipalities that are already in the current state receives all the children they should under the agreement to accept more.
– There is no agreed locations, to the extent necessary, says the Swedish Migration Board Acting Director General Michael Ribbenvik on Wednesday morning when he visits SVT’s morning sofa.
For a large municipality that Gothenburg can, according Ribbenvik , involve quite a lot more.
He says many municipalities from them. Some are declared. Other angry. But most have, after all, understanding and cooperation.
The Swedish Migration Board can be forced to place children in municipalities that signed agreements has been the law since a few years back. Before it took a few municipalities responsibility for all unaccompanied children who sought refuge in the country and many municipalities refused to sign agreements with the Migration Board.
– But to solve the problem by not refusing. It just shoot it over to another municipality, says Mikael Ribbenvik to SVT.
Even a year then realized the Migration Board that the number of unaccompanied would be more than ever in 2015, and the new distribution rate was calculated. For all the municipalities meant that the number of seats they had to provide increased dramatically. In Gothenburg, case 36-151 seats. For Partille from 3 to 20.
Margareta Antonsson’s Social Welfare in Partille. She says that the municipality had to build an entirely new organization to meet the obligation. One and a half administrators became three. A new manager added.
– We were one step behind and had to work hard to catch up. It was a little panicked, she says.
That it still has plenty good is largely thanks to dedicated staff and local residents set up. A large proportion of the children are placed in foster homes.
– The process was stressful, but I think we’ve landed well.
And if the municipality is now forced to take even more ?
– I think we are well prepared. Significantly better than a year ago.
