The project is developed within a social context characterised by significant barriers to accessing appropriate care and assistance for families and their children. Many families, particularly those with complex and nuanced needs, struggle to receive timely and suitable support due to systemic inefficiencies such as long waiting lists and fragmented service delivery. These challenges are exacerbated by the fact that existing care provisions often fail to adequately address the individualised needs of vulnerable families, leading to a situation where issues may escalate without timely intervention.

Additionally, the involvement of multiple care providers often results in a lack of comprehensive case management, where no single entity has a full understanding of the family's situation. This fragmentation of services leads to a disjointed approach, which can leave critical needs unaddressed. 

The need for intersectoral cooperation also reflects a social context where services such as general welfare, youth assistance, mental health support, and disability services operate in silos, making it difficult to provide continuous and adequate care for children and young people. The systemic inefficiencies and lack of integration across these sectors contribute to the social challenges faced by vulnerable families, highlighting the need for a more coordinated and responsive approach to care.
