Doing Co-operation. A Co-study with Landsforeningen for barnevernsbarn and Sarpsborg Municipality to Enhance Support for Vulnerable Children and Youth (CoChildren)

How can child welfare services and other support services collaborate more effectively to assist children and young people in vulnerable life situations?

Well-coordinated services are necessary to improve the situation for vulnerable children and youth. Research however shows that this often represents a challenge for the welfare services. The aim of this project is to investigate how child welfare services and other welfare services cooperate in relation to the individual child in order to identify ways to strengthen the cooperation.

The project will produce new knowledge about both strengths and risks related to coordinative efforts among welfare services when offering support to vulnerable children and young people.
