About this statute
A child ombudsman exists within the Ministry of Justice’s administrative branch, operates independently, and the Government may issue regulations on qualification requirements and appointment. Barnombudsmannen must promote children's interests and rights and carry out several child-focused monitoring, information, cooperation, and advocacy tasks. Barnombudsmannen ska lämna en verksamhetsberättelse till statsrådet varje år och till riksdagen vart fjärde år, samt årligen utarbeta en verksamhetsplan. Statsrådet får meddela närmare bestämmelser om detta. A delegation assists the Parliamentary Ombudsman for Children, and the Council of State issues further rules about how the delegation is appointed, composed, and how it works. Barnombudsmannen har en byrå med ett behövligt antal tjänstemän och annan personal inom ramen för statsbudgeten.
