About the programme

The programme is based on the national development of child and family services as part of the reform of social and health care. It is informed by the health and social services reform, the National Child Strategy, and development programmes and projects for child and family services. Their aim is services that are more child- and family-oriented than at present, better coordinated, and that promote social sustainability.
