Child Welfare Flashcards

Master the Legal Terminology

Navigate the complex legal landscape of Norwegian child protection. These interactive flashcards break down the critical differences between domestic practice and European human rights standards, including the "Biological Principle" and the "Ultimate Aim" of reunification.

• ✔ The "Strand Lobben" Shift: Understand how the 2019 Grand Chamber judgment forced Norway to move from merely "maintaining" family ties to actively "strengthening and developing" them.
• ✔ Contact Rights: Learn why the ECtHR criticizes "standardized" visitation schedules (e.g., 3-6 times a year) as a violation of the positive duty to reunite families.
• ✔ Attachment vs. Biology: Explore the friction between the "psychological parent" theory often used by Barnevernet and the legal protections for biological families.
