Social Services Report: Helping Stockholm's Children and Youth

The Social Services Committee in Stockholm has approved its activity report for 2025. The report details the committee's work on meeting the City Council's goals, including preventive social services, crime prevention, measures against homelessness, and service digitalization. A key focus was implementing a new social services law emphasizing early interventions and improving collaboration between social services and schools to help children and youth achieve their educational objectives. The possibility of offering general escort services without individual need assessments was considered, but deemed unsuitable due to high costs, challenges in controlling usage, and organizational issues within the city's choice system.
