Trust across Borders: A Review of the Literature on Trust, Migration and Child Welfare Services

The issue of trust, migrant families and the Norwegian Child Welfare Services (CWS) has received considerable media attention and has been the subject of public debate in Norway, Poland, and internationally. We argue there is a need for reliable and accessible information about child welfare services and issues of trust and migrants in English, due to the policy relevance of these issues and the high media and political interest internationally. The goal of this report is to provide researchers, journalists, practitioners and the general public with information based on research and facts.
