The authority for social protection and preparedness, MSB, has a page for adults called Krisinformation.se with social and crisis information. Now there is also a corresponding page for children, “Lilla krisinfo”, which MSB developed together with BRIS. It can be used as a basis for a conversation, says Marie Angsell, expert sociologist at Bris.
– There you collect important information aimed at children, information that can answer the questions children have and that has an appeal that we think children can understand.
