How we ensure your child's well-being and development

At least once a year, we conduct a written assessment of your child's well-being and development. We do this so that we can intervene promptly if your child needs support. We call it early detection and intervention.

Briefly about Early Detection and Intervention (TOPI):

  • The health visitor conducts the initial assessment of your child during home visits. Subsequently, your child is assessed in daycare centers and schools at least once a year.
  • The staff evaluates your child based on questions related to health, learning, and overall well-being.
  • The personnel at your child's daycare center or school can access these assessments to support any necessary interventions.
  • If other professionals need to access these assessments, your consent is required.
  • Any interventions are carried out through mutual dialogue and collaboration with you.
  • The results of the assessments and any focal points are communicated to you through the Parent Portal.

If an assessment raises concerns, the staff will create focus points outlining what attention is needed and what measures can help your child.

Preventive interventions can be aimed at individual children or an entire daycare group or class.
