The Functional Support Board in Malmö, Sweden, has reported a serious misconduct to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) under Lex Sarah. The report concerns an employee at an LSS care home in Malmö who repeatedly failed in their treatment of residents. The misconduct has been addressed by the employee no longer working at the facility and by clarifying to the workgroup the duty to report misconduct in operations.
The board assessed it as a serious misconduct requiring reporting under current legislation. Reports to IVO are handled within the administration to ensure correction and prevent recurrence. Lex Sarah involves regulations on the obligation for social services staff to report, investigate, and address misconduct and risks in operations, as part of systematic quality work in social services.
