Individual and Family Care (IFO) is divided into two operational areas, IFO Children and Family and IFO Adults, under the leadership of a joint IFO manager. One of the overall goals within the organization is that children and young people, to the extent possible, should be given the opportunity to live and grow up together with their family, or alternatively be reunited with their origin in another way. The organization's approach is based on systems theory with the best interests of the child in focus, where we strive to find alternative solutions in close cooperation with families and their networks. However, the organization has an explicit responsibility for support and protection of children and young people who need protection for shorter or longer periods and may need to be placed outside their own home.
