Description

Project objective is to increase the well-being of children and families and improve the quality of life. The project focuses on improving the early detection and support of children’s support needs. Local level support services should be provided through a simple and logical system for children and parents, where assistance is provided proactively in a coordinated and efficient manner across sectors and local governments.

The project activities will result in the creation and piloting of an integrated case management cooperation model across the fields of education, social affairs and health care, connecting local governments of Tartu County that enhances the early detection of the need for assistance and provision of support, alleviates the shortage of support specialists in smaller local governments and reduces fragmentation of services. Additionally, a toolbox for assessment tools will be created and training will be provided for basic schoolteachers and SEN coordinators for early detection of a child’s support needs as well as SEN coordinators will be trained in key social and child protection topics.
