The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration's response to a letter from the Sweden Democrats regarding sexual offenses and other crimes within home care services.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved the administration's statement in response to a citizen proposal for improving the beach at Trekanten in Liljeholmen.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved a proposal to address safety concerns at Enbacksparken in Midsommarkransen.

The Skärholmen District Council approved a statement to the City Executive Board regarding a proposal to expand the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's powers to investigate benefit fraud.

Additionally, the guidelines emphasize increased attention to domestic violence and transactional sex.

The City Executive Board approved a referral from the Skärholmen district administration regarding the Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030. The administration believes the plan strengthens and develops the city's gender equality work through integration and clear goals, but highlighted challenges such as the time and competence needed for norm-critical work, the lack of gender-disaggregated statistics for follow-up, and potential conflicts between gender equality and the need for intercultural representation in external communication.

The Skärholmen District Council approved a statement responding to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding new guidelines for child safety in Stockholm's municipal preschools. The administration supported updating the guidelines to strengthen systematic and equitable safety work, suggesting private preschools should also be included and clarifying that concern reports can be both preventative and indicate serious incidents. These new guidelines consolidate eight previous action plans, adding guidance on issues like children at risk, crimes against children, discrimination, and confidentiality.

The Skärholmen District Council decided to adopt the administration's statement regarding the transition to digital personnel records. The administration views positively the move from paper-based to digital records for the city's approximately 88,000 employees, expecting increased efficiency, security, and accessibility of personnel documents. This five-year project, funded with 70 million SEK, involves scanning existing paper files and utilizing the Lisa self-service and eDok systems for managing the digital records.
