Time and again a woman has been employed as a social worker in various municipalities despite lacking social work education and the required qualifications.

After just a few days as a new employee in Laholm Municipality last year, her boss thought she “showed surprising ignorance of her job duties” considering the education and work experience she had stated. Only then was a more thorough check carried out, reports SVT Nyheter Halland.

The woman was convicted in 2012 of forging a certificate for a social work degree, after a municipality that had employed her in 2008 exposed her. In addition to Laholm, the woman has been employed as a social worker in two other municipalities over the past five years.
