Child protection
The lastensuojelu.info website provides basic information on services for families with children in Finland in several languages. All services for children and families are based on legislation. The Finnish law takes into account common, internationally agreed principles. The most important of these for children is the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Society supports families in many ways, and help and support are available for various situations in life.
Help and advice can be sought from municipal services for children and families, non-governmental organisations and parishes.
