Purpose
The purpose of the roadmap is to document and communicate the vision and strategy towards establishing, operating and developing the Barnahus model in a simple and accessible format. The roadmap aims to:
- Provide a guiding document for executing and monitoring the national Barnahus strategy
- Facilitate interagency agreement and internal alignment so that everyone works in a coordinated way towards the same goal
- Facilitate exploration and planning of different options, scenarios and activities
- Communicate the vision and strategy to an external audience
The roadmap should preferably be adopted by all concerned agencies. If this is not possible, it is desirable that the lead agency in charge of establishing and/or operating Barnahus formally adopts the roadmap and ensures that it is disseminated to key actors.
Format and Content
The format for the roadmap is flexible, but we recommend a simple and accessible format, such as a Gantt chart. The roadmap does not need to include small details; it can be kept fairly high-level. To make the roadmap clear, it is helpful to create groupings of initiatives or goals. The road map should include all the activities and deliverables that will be implemented to achieve the vision and overall goal for Barnahus, for example roundtables, training, exchange, interagency agreement, evaluation etc. In cases where establishment of Barnahus is scheduled it can also include concrete steps towards establishing Barnahus, such as acquiring premises, establishing a budget, recruiting team, developing interagency agreements and procedures etc.
The Gantt chart below (also available in excel) provides a Roadmap template for inspiration. Please note that you will need to complete the Gantt chart with your specific information.
