Children, family and child welfare services

This topic is worth around 12 per cent of the test in total, and it's also the topic that attracts the most misunderstandings.

What's covered

Children and young people's rights. Laws, rules and values about children's right to protection, participation and care.

Diversity in Norway. Different family types, ways of living, housing forms and population groups.

Public services. How nurseries, schools and child welfare services support families.

About the child welfare services

The questions are about what the child welfare services do and what rights families have, not about individual cases. This is useful knowledge regardless of the test, because few topics attract as many rumours.

Worth prioritising

At around 12 per cent in total, this is one of the four heaviest topics on the test.
