Forte's Programme for Sustainable social services The social services system is an essential part of Sweden's welfare state and provides a vital safety net for individuals and families. There is a need to strengthen the evidence base on how the social services can be designed and delivered in ways that are sustainable, more preventive and evidence-informed. A ten-year national research programme is part of the government’s initiative to address this need. Programme for sustainable social services Text Show more
