You will have continuous contact with children and young people (0-21 years) in foster homes or HVB, primarily by regularly visiting them where they are placed. You collaborate closely with their parents, foster homes, networks, schools, and other partners. You continuously evaluate the children's needs and make assessments on how care should be best implemented. We use proven and research-based methods to ensure quality in our work. You work in a team with foster care secretaries around each child and their foster home. We also work with Skolfam, which is an evidence-based method, where we have psychologists and special educators with us, who strengthen us in our work to ensure that children have the best possible schooling.

We solve many difficult situations with high quality through collaboration and a structured approach. We have clear working methods based on BBIC and Signs of Safety, where we actively work to involve the network and explore the family's own suggestions for solutions while never compromising on the children's safety.
