Reidar Hjermann
Reidar Kvaal Hjermann (born 17 February 1969) is a Norwegian psychologist and former Children's Ombudsman of Norway.
The son of Ingvar Hjermann, Reidar Hjermann started working as a psychologist in 1998. In 2004 he was appointed Ombudsman for Children in Norway, succeeding fellow psychologist Trond Waage.[1]
When his four-year term ended in 2008, he applied for a second term. However, the job was given to jurist Ida Hjort Kraby. Later, it was revealed that Kraby had friendly relations with Minister of Children and Equality, Manuela Ramin-Osmundsen. Ramin-Osmundsen withdrew from her position, as did Kraby who never got the time to formally enter the post. The ombudsman post was again open, and Hjermann was this time appointed to a second term.[1]
