About the programme
The programme is based on the national reform of child and family services. It draws on the National Child Strategy 2040 and the Programme to Address Child and Family Services, whose implementation will continue in 2020–2022. Both aim to make services more child- and family-centred, more family-friendly and better coordinated than they are today.
