Report to Child welfare

Anyone can make a child welfare report but several professions and honorary members have statutory obligations to make one. Children or young people can also contact Child welfare by themselves.

When should a notification be given? (E.g. in the following situations)

• child is treated poorly
• small child is late outdoors alone
• child cries continuously
• if it is suspected that child is battered or otherwise treated badly
• child/young person uses intoxicants or is interfered with offences
• child harms him-/herself

How is the report made?

• Notification is made to the city’s social office.
• It can be made by phone, in written form, or by visiting the office personally.
• Because of the sensitivity of the data, it should not be made via e-mail.
• There are existing forms that can be used, but filling them is not pre-requisite for making a notification.

Filled form can be sent to address:
