Personnel shortage in Hanko’s social services for adults, as well as in services for children, young people and families

30.6.2023 11.21

There is currently a personnel shortage in Hanko's social services for adults, family social work and child welfare. This hinders the organisation of services in Hanko. The situation is particularly difficult during summer holidays.

We prioritise urgent contacts so that acute issues can be handled as quickly as possible. In non-urgent cases, the waiting time may be longer than usual. 

We apologise for the situation. We will do our best to fill the positions and improve the situation, as quickly as possible.
