Why you should choose us

In Family Team Juelsminde we have a good, spacious and relaxed collegial environment where we support and help each other.

We do this both at our team meetings and ad hoc, as a natural part of being on the same team.

Openness and trust are important to us, so we stand together in both the good and the difficult in taking care of our shared core task.

In Children & Families Authority we have various common social work concepts that ease daily work. The professional system is DUBU, and we continuously develop supporting tools in social work, including a digital overview tool that connects a visual case flow with procedures, templates, legislation and involvement methods.

In Children & Families we have across the authorities and the execution area developed some principles for our collaboration, which we have named "Together we are strongest" in general. This means that we are all part of a mentalizing feedback culture, where we strive to make each other look good, both organizationally, relationally and in relation to citizens.

That is something we will continuously work on, strengthen and develop going forward, because only together can we solve the core task for the benefit of children and young people. Together WE are strongest, and it is important that you want to work with this as a starting point.

About us

All citizens in Hedensted Municipality should get along well. We as a municipality must support them in this movement. For Children & Families this means that we must actively contribute to ensuring that children and young people have optimal prerequisites and safe learning environments, both at home and in our institutions. We must support their development of participation capacity and opportunities. We see this as a shared responsibility where families, local communities, and the municipality's offerings together create the movement for all children and young people.

Children & Families covers the specialized children and youth area for 0-18 years and eligible citizens with a refugee background during the first three years in Denmark. We are organizationally placed under Learning.

The core task for Learning in Hedensted Municipality is "Together we create movement, so that children and young people in committed communities develop into capable and future-ready individuals".

In Children & Families we, together with our partners, focus on engaging with children, young people and their families at an earlier stage with special needs and developing interventions for the families. We are well on our way with the implementation of the Child Law – not only in Children & Families but throughout Learning. We have just decided on a common child and youth perspective "All children and young people do as well as they can – let us together give them the opportunity".

We have a particular focus on involving the children, the young people and their families and work with cross-disciplinary and relational coordination as well as Signs of Safety – just as we develop different involvement tools depending on the child/young person's age, functional level and challenge.

We work purposefully with the systematics of case processes and have a wide range of services to involve. We are across the entire Children & Families united in the belief that we are each other’s prerequisites for succeeding in creating change for the children, the young people and their families, and must support each other in solving the tasks.
