lastensuojelullisiin

Lastensuojelullisiin is a Finnish term that translates to "child protection related" or "pertaining to child protection." It is a broad descriptor used in various contexts within Finnish society and its legal framework to denote matters, services, or responsibilities that concern the safeguarding and well-being of children. This encompasses a wide range of activities, from preventative measures and early intervention to more direct forms of intervention when a child's safety or development is at risk.

The concept of lastensuojelullisiin is central to the Finnish Child Welfare Act, which outlines the rights and obligations of authorities, parents, and children themselves. It emphasizes the state's responsibility to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. Services falling under the lastensuojelullisiin umbrella can include family support, counseling, assessments of a child's situation, foster care, and institutional care when necessary. The ultimate goal is to protect children from harm, neglect, abuse, and other factors that could negatively impact their development and well-being. The term is often used in official documents, professional discussions, and public discourse regarding children's rights and welfare in Finland.
