How Nordland County Council puts security on the agenda

Nordland fylkeskommune (Nordland County Council), in collaboration with Grade Jobbnorge, has put security on the agenda following an assessment from the security and emergency preparedness department, which identified the need to ensure that the county council's recruitment process also safeguards societal security.
