As a continued step, the municipality has now decided to appoint a case officer position within the Department of Children and Education, tasked with driving and supporting the development work forward. The focus will be on developing methods/processes for a clear implementation of TSI in the schools within the Department of Children and Education.

TSI is a collaboration between local services that meet children and families, such as preschools, schools, child and student health services, social services, culture, leisure, healthcare, and police. This means being present in environments where children and youth are, on their terms and conditions. This may involve visits to schools, parent meetings, associations, or other activities where children are present. The position is based in the Department of Children and Education in Värnamo and will organizationally belong to the Cultural School unit, which currently works with all school units.
