The Scandinavian countries are much admired all over the

/ðə//ˌskændəˈneɪviən/ /ˈkʌntriz/ /ɑː/ /mʌʧ/ /ədˈmaɪəd/ /ɔːl/ /ˈəʊvə/ /ðiː/

world for their enlightened social policies. Sweden has

/wɜːld/ /fɔː/ /ðeər/ /ɪnˈlaɪtnd/ /ˈsəʊʃəl/ /ˈpɒlɪsiz./ /ˈswɪdən/ /hæz/

evolved an excellent system for protecting the individual

/ɪˈvɒlvd/ /ən/ /ˈɛksələnt/ /ˈsɪstɪm/ /fɔː/ /prəˈtɛktɪŋ/ /ði/ /ˌɪndɪˈvɪdjʊəl/

citizen from highhanded or incompetent public officers. The

/ˈsɪtɪzn/ /frɒm/ /ˈhaɪˈhændɪd/ /ɔːr/ /ɪnˈkɒmpɪtənt/ /ˈpʌblɪk/ /ˈɒfɪsəz./ /ðiː/

system has worked so well, that it has been adopted in other

countries too. The Swedes were the first to recognize that

/ˈkʌntriz/ /tuː./ /ðə/ /swiːdz/ /wɜː/ /ðə/ /fɜːst/ /tuː/ /ˈrɛkəgnaɪz/ /ðæt/

public officials like civil servants, police officers, health

/ˈpʌblɪk/ /əˈfɪʃəlz/ /laɪk/ /ˈsɪvl/ /ˈsɜːvənts,/ /pəˈliːs/ /ˈɒfɪsəz,/ /hɛlθ/

zealously in the belief that they are serving the public. As

/ˈzɛləsli/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /bɪˈliːf/ /ðæt/ /ðeɪ/ /ɑː/ /ˈsɜːvɪŋ/ /ðə/ /ˈpʌblɪk./ /æz/

long ago as 1809, the Swedish Parliament introduced a

/lɒŋ/ /əˈgəʊ/ /æz/ /2009,/ /ðə/ /ˈswiːdɪʃ/ /ˈpɑːləmənt/ /ˌɪntrəˈdjuːst/ /eɪ/

scheme to safeguard the interest of the individual. A

/skiːm/ /tuː/ /ˈseɪfgɑːd/ /ði/ /ˈɪntrɪst/ /ɒv/ /ði/ /ˌɪndɪˈvɪdjʊəl./ /eɪ/

parliamentary committee representing all political parties

/ˌpɑːləˈmɛntəri//kəˈmɪti/ /ˌrɛprɪˈzɛntɪŋ/ /ɔːl/ /pəˈlɪtɪkəl/ /ˈpɑːtiz/

appoints a person who is suitably qualified to investigate

private grievances against the State. The official title of the

/ˈpraɪvɪt//ˈgriːvənsɪz/ /əˈgɛnst/ /ðə/ /steɪt./ /ði/ /əˈfɪʃəl/ /ˈtaɪtl/ /ɒv/ /ðiː/

person is 'Justiteombudsman', but the Swedes commonly

/ˈpɜːsn/ /ɪz/ /'Justiteombudsman',/ /bʌt/ /ðə/ /swiːdz/ /ˈkɒmənli/

refer to him as the 'J.O.' or 'Ombudsman'.
