Cross-sectoral cooperation
According to section 9 of the Youth Act, for the general planning and development of the implementation of multidisciplinary cooperation between local authorities, municipalities must have a network imed at all young people living in the municipality.
The cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary network must interact with youth organisations, parishes and other communities providing youth services. The network does not deal with matters concerning individual young people. The tasks of the network or other equivalent cooperation group shall be:
- collect information on young people’s growth and living conditions and, on that basis, assess their situation in support of local decision-making and planning;
- promote the coordination of services for young people, common procedures for referring young people to services and the smooth exchange of information;
- promote cooperation for the implementation of youth activities.
