Regeringens proposition till riksdagen med förslag till barnskyddslag och till lagar som har samband med den

The Finnish government has submitted a bill to the Eduskunta (Finland's parliament) proposing a new Child Protection Act and changes to laws connected to it. The proposal covers how authorities protect children at risk, including decisions on taking children into care, foster care placements, and follow-up support after care ends. This is a national legislative proposal, so it applies only within Finland and is not an EU measure. Children at risk and their families would be directly affected, along with foster families, child protection institutions, and social workers. The wellbeing services counties, which now run much of Finland's social and health care, would be responsible for applying the new rules.
