  11. What does this mean in practice?

  12. Some promising signals • Court Decision: Penalize school for not implementing protocol • Ombudsman recommendations to Centres for Social Work • National Protocol for Protection of Women/Victims of Domestic Violence (child victim) • National preventative mechanism • NGO independent monitoring • New by-law on prohibited conduct for all service providers in social welfare and new system of evidence for all social providers

  13. Challenges: • No national coordination mechanism • Protocols are no being implemented fully in all municipalities • Cross sectoral cooperation

  14. Opportunities: • New Government in place • EU integrations • New and coordinated capacity building approach – parallel capacity building in health, education and social welfare; bringing systems together in four towns
