Article by Hulda Bj\u00f6rk Finnsd\u00f3ttir, social worker and project manager The Bridge Builders.<\/a><\/p>\n

In recent semesters, the authorities and professionals within education and social services have placed a greater emphasis on responding quickly when children and young people show the first signs of academic, emotional or mental health difficulties. A working group in the town of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur has spent the last two years developing procedures to provide such services in a timely manner. Following this work, the project BR\u00daIN- child- advice- resources<\/strong>, launched. The main aim of BR\u00daARINN is to improve the quality of life for nursery and primary school children in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur through early intervention services.\u00a0 When a child's difficulties begin to emerge, it is often possible to begin with simple resources within the child's local community, such as the school, social services, school support services or the local health centre. In this way, through close collaboration between different professional disciplines within and outside the municipality, an attempt is made to prevent children and adolescents from developing complex problems.<\/p>\n

BR\u00daNNI places an emphasis on increased interdisciplinary services, which are delivered through the solution teams of the nursery and primary schools.\u00a0 The solution teams include school-based professionals, along with advisers from family services, 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. Appropriate resources within and outside the school are mobilised to respond early to a child's difficulties or circumstances. This approach is initially being implemented in seven nurseries and three primary schools in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. The schools are participating in the development of this new working method, which will later be introduced into all nurseries and primary schools in the town. Three consultants have been appointed to ensure the success of the procedure and the collaboration. This is not a temporary project, but a change in practice in the provision of services for children and families within the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. <\/p>\n

The BR\u00daARINN procedure aligns well with the key priorities of the health-promoting community of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and other collaborative projects between the state and the municipality. Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Municipality and the Capital Region Police are currently developing a procedure to intervene earlier in the situations of children and adolescents displaying risky behaviour. Consultative committees are also active, comprising professionals from the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, health centres and BUGL, with the aim of shortening referral routes and services for children with learning, behavioural or emotional difficulties. The City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is also working to make the city child-friendly in collaboration with UNICEF in Iceland and the Children's Ombudsman. There is also strong cooperation between parent associations, parent councils and the city's professionals, who work for the benefit of children and young people.<\/p>\n

BR\u00daIN is an innovation and development project with defined measurable objectives. It is hoped that an increased interdisciplinary approach to services for children and adolescents, and earlier intervention, will reduce the need for child protection involvement. It is also hoped that the demand for detailed assessments will decrease and that fewer children in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur will develop complex problems.   <\/p>\n
