Telemark Child and Family Center, which is part of Bufetat region south, offers services aimed at child welfare services with a focus on children aged 0-6 years. The center assists with the assessment of the care situation for these children, and has various methods for assessment, including home-based and outpatient assessment. For families who live far away, there is also the possibility of a 24-hour assessment.
In addition to assessment, the center offers care-changing assistance measures to families. Staff are available around the clock to provide support and assistance, and the assessment process results in recommendations for further measures. It is important to note that Bufetat is not obliged to offer assistance measures, but can make offers under certain conditions, depending on the situation.
