The Care Advice & Referral Team (CART) consists of the school Care Coordinators, Youth Health Care Nurse, Representative of the Island Social Unit, the Youth Doctor, the ZJCN, and the EC2 team members combined. This group meets monthly to discuss the services for students with special needs, and other topics that may arise. The CCs of the schools can share concerns and ideas. Intervision is offered, experiences are shared and decisions are made on assessment and treatment of students.

The CART explores which additional support can be given to further assist the student, teachers and parents and who will take care of that. Out of the CART-participants a coordinator for that specific student will be chosen, usually the person who is actively involved with the student
