Child Protection in Finland and Sweden

Abstract

Abstract This chapter discusses Finland and Sweden’s child protection which is based on the principle that children’s overall well-being need a wide range of universal services and benefits. Child protection measures are only evoked when the children and families’ universal services and needs are insufficient to ensure children’s well-being. However, vulnerability related to socio-economic factors is often overlooked when child protection issues are at hand. The chapter notes the differences between the Swedish and Finnish systems with regards to legislation, organisation, decision-making, and practice of child protection.
