Abstract

The dataset consists of interviews with 24 directors and managers who work in child and family services. The interviews charted organisational practices related to peer support and experential knowledge in child and family services. The data were collected as part of the VerKo - Service user involvement and peer support in child and family services project.

The interviews were conducted over the phone, and they explored practices related to peer support and experiential knowledge services and activities in the organisations the interviewees worked in. The interviewees were also asked about managing peer support and experiential knowledge services and activities, and about the kinds of terms and concepts their organisations used in relation to these services. Additionally, the perceived benefits and disadvantages associated with peer support and experiental knowledge services and activities in the interviewees' organisations were investigated.

Background information included the interviewee's supervisory status, number of years worked in current position, number of years worked in managerial positions, type of employer organisation, and employer organisation's area of activity (municipal level, NUTS3 region level, national level). The data were organised into an easy to use HTML version at FSD.

The dataset is only available in Finnish.

Completeness of Data and Restrictions

To prevent identification of interviewees, the data have been anonymised by the researcher and at FSD. The researcher removed potential identifiers related to the interviewees, organisations, and locations from the data. Changes made by the researcher are marked with [brackets]. Additional anonymisation was performed at FSD according to the researcher's anonymisation guidelines. Changes made at FSD are marked with [[double brackets]].

One of the interviews deposited at FSD as part of the original dataset was removed because according to the researcher it was not possible to anonymise the interview to the required degree.
