About the operation:

The Compass: Escorting & Relief is an operation conducted according to the LSS law. We only have hourly paid staff, several of whom are family members employed. The operation is aimed at children and adults who need support to engage in social contexts or to relieve parents of children with disabilities.

Relief:

The service means that you as a relief worker work with younger children in their homes or local area. The service aims to relieve the child's parents so that they can rest, shop, or spend time with siblings.

Escorting:

The service means that you as an escort follow the customer in everyday activities. It can be as support on the bus ride to college or to help the customer manage their leisure interests.
