Background & Purpose

During the autumn of 2025, various proposals were submitted to improve how social services support children and young people. The parliament determined that these changes were unnecessary because the government is already working on these issues.

The Decision

The parliament voted to reject all 115 proposals, meaning no new laws or changes to social service practices were introduced.

Does this affect you?

  • Social workers: They will continue to work under existing guidelines without new legislative requirements from these proposals.
  • Children in social care: Their daily situation remains governed by current laws and existing ongoing improvement projects.

In Practice

  • Current rules and procedures for social services remain unchanged.
  • Ongoing government projects will continue as planned without new directives from these specific proposals.
  • No new rights or placement regulations for children in care were established through this decision.
