It was confirmed that the plan for nationwide implementation of Framework for Intervention in Norway is far advanced. Preparations are in place to develop the support that will be needed so that all schools can start using the system in 2009.

With support from the team in Birmingham, support workers in all districts will receive familiarisation from the team at the Porsgrunn base of the 'Fin Stil' (Fine Style) project.

The results of the pilot project in Norway were celebrated in an international conference in May 2007.

An independent evaluation from Hedmark University College suggested that 70% of behavioural concerns showed substantial change with more that 85% showing clear progress following Framework interventions. This study replicated the Scottish study reported at the same conference by Tom Williams- Principal Psychologist for Ayrshire.
