Sweden Unveils New Social Services Law

Published: 2024-07-02

Today, the Swedish government along with the Sweden Democrats, Christian Democrats, and Liberals presented a new social services law addressing the need for reform in Sweden's social policies.

This initiative seeks to shift focus towards preventive measures, aiming to offer support before social issues escalate.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson emphasized investments in early, ambitious, and long-term efforts to shape Sweden’s future.

However, concerns remain about the adequacy of funding and staffing needed to implement these reforms effectively.

Effective collaboration among police, schools, and social services is also highlighted as essential for the new law's success.
