Committee urges government to ensure equal funding for Oslo child protection services
The Standing Committee on Family and Culture is reviewing a private member's bill from six MPs calling for equal funding of child protection services in Oslo compared to the rest of the country. The proposers argue that since 2004, Oslo has been responsible for secondary-level child protection services that are normally provided by the state through Bufetat, but has not received equivalent state funding as other child protection services nationwide. The committee proposes that the government ensure equal funding going forward and enter into dialogue about potentially transferring responsibility to the state.
