KV learned about this from a message of the Brovary City Territorial Community on Telegram.

“Noticing difficulties in time, listening to the child, and supporting the family is a shared task of the community. Coordinated actions of specialists should help prevent crisis situations, ensure the safety of children, and preserve for them the possibility of growing up in a family environment,” the message says.

The basis for the work was the interagency cooperation procedure that the city council approved at the end of October. Meeting participants discussed a practical action algorithm: detecting signs of neglect, passing information to the appropriate services, assessing the family’s needs, organizing assistance, and subsequent monitoring. They also discussed the distribution of responsibility among different institutions for working with families in difficult life circumstances.
