Resource package for municipalities

New sub-package for school and kindergarten staff

BarnsBeste has launched a sub-package to support municipalities in their work with children who are next of kin. The new section is designed specifically for school and kindergarten staff and aims to help ensure that children living in families affected by illness, substance abuse or mental health challenges are seen and given appropriate support.

Specialist advisers Mary-Ann Esperaas and Elisabeth Rø presented sub-package 4 for the first time at a professional development day on children who are next of kin in Bodø.

“Schools and kindergartens play a crucial role in children’s everyday lives. The people who work there meet children every day and are often the first to notice when something is wrong. This sub-package will make it easier to take the right action,” says specialist adviser Elisabeth Rø at BarnsBeste.

The sub-package contains professional knowledge, guidelines, suggested procedures, as well as practical examples of how staff can support children who are next of kin in their everyday work.

The resource package was developed in collaboration with municipalities and professionals across the country, and is intended to be a practical tool to ensure that children who are next of kin receive the follow-up and support they are entitled to.
