Trust builder

Do you want to become a trust builder for child welfare?

We offer trust-building courses with a focus on communication and trust-building between immigrant families and the Norwegian child welfare service.

What is a trust builder?

A trust builder is not a language interpreter, but a person who has multicultural competence and can help build understanding between the Norwegian child welfare service and immigrant families.

In 2025-2026, offers Caritas Norway, with support from Bufdir, free afternoon courses in cultural interpretation with specialization in child welfare.
