About GD-Forum on the Public Health Agency of Sweden's website

Krami is a collaboration between the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, the Swedish Public Employment Service and local authorities. Together, Krami offers personal support and guidance to people who want to enter the labour market and at the same time have the opportunity to make a lifestyle change.

Krami is aimed at people who have a history of crime, substance abuse and unemployment, or who are involved in criminal activities and are ready for a change. Participants receive support in improving their job search and can also take part in social activities organised by Krami. Krami staff offer long-term follow-up in the workplace, which is planned individually for each participant.

When an employer is interested in hiring a participant, this is preceded by tripartite meetings between Krami staff, the participant and the employer. It may be possible to use some of the Employment Service's financial support for employment.

The goal is for participants to become self-sufficient, either through work or study.

According to instructions to the Swedish Public Employment Service (Regulation 2022:811), we are to collaborate with the Swedish Prison and Probation Service in order to strengthen the opportunities for job seekers within the prison system to find and retain employment.

This cooperation means that the Swedish Public Employment Service has special case workers who work with the Prison and Probation Service's institutions and probation offices. The Swedish Public Employment Service also procures training courses that are run at some of the institutions.

In spring 2021, Swedish Employment Service and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency were tasked by the government with developing knowledge material that the Swedish Social Insurance Agency can use to support the assessment of work capacity for jobs within a specified occupational group that includes normally occurring jobs.

The Swedish Social Insurance Agency has initiated cooperation between authorities to combat abuse and crime in the welfare system. The goal is closer, structured and long-term cooperation between authorities to prevent payments being made on incorrect grounds.

The long-term collaboration is being conducted within five working groups with the following focus areas:

• the law on the duty to report
  
• information exchange
  
• joint risk analysis
  
• attitudes and social norms
  
• coherent identity management.

The Swedish Public Employment Service, the Swedish National Agency for Higher Vocational Education, the Swedish National Agency for Education, the Swedish ESF Council, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth, the Swedish Higher Education Authority and the Swedish Council for Higher Education have been tasked with collaborating to contribute to a well-functioning supply of skills. In addition to these authorities, the Swedish Council for Adult Education is also involved. Vinnova and Statistics Sweden are also collaborating. The Swedish Higher Vocational Education Authority has been tasked with coordinating the collaboration administratively.

The inter-agency collaboration (also known as KLL) began partly in parallel with the Skills Supply and Lifelong Learning collaboration programme, one of the strategic collaboration programmes launched by the government in July 2019 and which ended in spring 2022.

The KLL agency collaboration received its first joint government assignment in June 2022. The latest assignment directed at the KLL agency collaboration has been extended to March 2026, when the next report on the work will be submitted.

The government assignment emphasises, among other things, that the agency collaboration should prioritise work in four areas:

• work on analytical data for forecasts and dimensioning of education
• support for regional skills supply work
• education for climate change
• efforts to get more people to participate in education in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) field.

We collaborate and work operationally with eight other authorities to combat fraud, rule violations and crime in the workplace.
In addition to us, the following authorities are involved:

• Swedish Work Environment Authority
  
• Swedish Economic Crime Authority
  
• Swedish Social Insurance Agency
  
• Swedish Gender Equality Authority
  
• Swedish Migration Agency
  
• Swedish Police Authority
  
• Swedish Tax Agency
  
• Swedish Prosecution Authority

The Government Service Centre is an authority that works with efficient public administration. Through them, citizens have a single point of access to the services offered by several authorities.

At service centres around the country, we collaborate with the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, the Swedish Pensions Agency and the Swedish Tax Agency. There, our customers can get help with, among other things

• registering
• using our online services
• reporting activities.

We are collaborating with four other authorities to increase foreign-born women's chances of finding employment. To support organisations that encounter foreign-born women and receive many questions, we have developed the dialogue tool Jobba i Sverige (Working in Sweden).

The Swedish Public Employment Service is coordinating the initiative, and the other authorities involved are the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, the Gender Equality Authority, the Swedish Migration Agency and the National Board of Health and Welfare.

Victims of violent crime often suffer serious ill health and loss of work and income. This is one of the reasons why the government has tasked the Swedish Public Employment Service, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, the Swedish Migration Agency, the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare and the Swedish Gender Equality Agency with collaborating on issues relating to increased detection of violence. The National Network for Coordination Associations (NNS) is also part of the same government assignment and coordinates the Stop the Violence project.

For our part, this involves, among other things, becoming better at identifying clients who have experienced violence in close relationships, if this could be a hidden cause of ill health and unemployment. We also need to know where to refer victims of violence so that they can get help.
