The Child Welfare Officer is a social service that offers support and advice to children who find themselves in difficult situations. The organization aims to safeguard the child's best interests by assessing the situation and providing appropriate help. Through reports of concern, both public authorities and private individuals can contribute to ensuring that children receive the necessary follow-up. It is also possible to submit anonymous messages.
For urgent enquiries, an emergency telephone number, 116 111, has been established, which provides immediate access to help. The Child Welfare Officer has the opportunity to follow up on cases both at the family's home and at the child welfare office, which can be crucial in ensuring the child's safety and well-being. The organization emphasizes the importance of anyone who suspects neglect taking responsibility for reporting.
