About BRÚNA
Since the autumn of 2018, the Municipality of Hafnarfjörður has operated BRÚNA, a new procedure for services to children in the municipality's nursery and primary schools. The aim is to improve the quality of life for children, adolescents and their families. The emphasis is on providing increased support at an earlier stage. Collaboration between the Family and Child Affairs Department and the Education and Public Health Department of Hafnarfjörður has been strengthened.
Problem-solving team within nursery and primary schools
Increased support is provided through the solution teams of the nursery and primary schools. The solution teams consist of school-based professionals, along with advisers from the family service, psychologists and/or a special education representative from the education and leisure services. The role of the solution team is to assess the child's situation and seek joint solutions to support the child and their family. In a solution team, a child's learning, behaviour, development and/or well-being is discussed with the parents' consent, and appropriate resources are mobilised to intervene earlier in the child's difficulties or circumstances. Schools in Hafnarfjörður are participating in the development of this new working method, which will later be implemented in all the town's nurseries and primary schools.
