The recommendation comes in the Sitra 2020 report on children and youth services published on Thursday.
Sitra’s model of children and youth services entails a centralised nationwide point of contact in which the customers are redirected to municipal services.
The nationwide service would be manned around the clock as well as in the social media.
The model would allow access to all services also in municipalities that lack resources to organise such services.
Antti Kivelä, the director of Sitra told the news agency STT that small municipalities do not have resources to be on call on the social medial around the clock.
“It would be sensible to organise such services nationally,” Kivelä said.
Currently, children and youth services are catered for by up to a thousand different actors scattered in different points.
According to Kivelä, the municipality responsible-based approach developed half a century ago does not work in today’s world in which the significance of municipality has decreased and people move around more often than in the past.
