ABSTRACT The Swedish parliament has ratified the UN “Child convention” and therefore the government must follow it in all questions that involve children. NOBAB: s standard is based on the child convention, and the purpose of the articles in the standard are to strengthen the rights of children and youths who needs professional care because of illness or sickness. During the last years primary care has taken over responsibility from child clinics for a lot of children, but the specific competence of children has not always followed. Therefore has NOBAB during the last three years run the intervention project “Secure children and youths in primary care”. The aim of this study was to describe which experiences primary care professionals have about child competence and about the intervention project. Eight qualitative interviews were made with professionals from two of the primary care centres that took part of the project, and the analyse were made by qualitative content analyse. The result revealed that professionals described different competences that they used to frame security and participation for the children, like pedagogic, social, experienced, formal and organisation competences. But there were also impediments for child competence within those categories. Experiences from the NOBAB-project were mostly positive. The project has improved the environment, new routines have been written, and the knowledge and consciousness about children have increased.
