Gonogopäätöksissä

Gonogopäätöksissä refers to decisions made within the context of gonogo, which is a Finnish term often used in child welfare or social services. It specifically relates to situations where a decision needs to be made regarding whether a child can be allowed to go (gono) or if they must stay (go). This decision-making process is typically undertaken by social workers, child protection officers, or guardians.

The primary consideration in gonogopäätöksissä is the well-being and safety of the child. These decisions can arise in various circumstances, such as when a child wishes to visit friends or relatives, participate in extracurricular activities, or even when considering a child's placement or return to their home environment. The assessment involves evaluating the potential risks and benefits associated with allowing the child to go or remain.

Factors influencing these decisions include the child's age and maturity, their past behavior, the reliability and suitability of the environment or individuals the child would be going to, and any existing concerns about neglect, abuse, or other risks to the child's safety. The process often involves consultation with relevant parties, including the child, parents or guardians, and other professionals involved in the child's care. The ultimate goal is to ensure the child's best interests are prioritized.
