Correct use of the methods provides a more reliable assessment of age, compared with only calls and estimates, the council believes where Kjell Asplund is the chairman.
– It is acceptable to do medical åldersbedömningar. It should only be done when one is unsure. Not like some routine method. You should take into account that these methods have error margins, ” says Kjell Asplund.
How will this affect the number of medical åldersbedömningar made on behalf of the Swedish migration board?
” Probably they will increase slightly. National laboratory of forensic science the government has a mandate to ensure that this is carried out when it is needed. In the majority of cases it is quite clear whether it is a child or adult so it is a minority will undergo the medical åldersbedömningarna, ” says Kjell Asplund.
it Can mean that it becomes clearer procedures at the Swedish migration board?
– Yes, for option is that a case officer at the Swedish migration board makes a rough assessment after the interview, the documents and how the applicant behaves. In that situation, we think that it is ethically defensible to add, when one is unsure, such a medical age assessment using x-ray or mri, says Kjell Asplund.
