Child welfare is primarily based on open care support measures. If the child's health or growth and development are seriously threatened by lack of care or other circumstances, we must resort to substitute care, which usually takes the form of family care. If family care is not sufficient or otherwise suitable, the child may be placed in institutional care.
Placement in institutional care requires a client relationship with child welfare services and a placement decision made by the social worker of the municipality responsible for the child's affairs.
The need for institutional care placement is assessed on an individual basis, taking into account the child's needs and interests, in cooperation with the guardians, the child and the child welfare social worker. The placement decision is made by the social worker responsible for the child.
You can contact the emergency child welfare service if you feel that the health and development of a child close to you are endangered by the child's growth environment or their own behaviour. You can contact the emergency child welfare service during office hours at 09 4191 5500.

In substitute care, the child has a social worker responsible for their affairs. The social worker draws up a client plan together with the child, the guardians or other close relatives and the substitute care place and monitors its implementation. The child and the family receive support according to the plan. The social worker's role is to monitor the child's situation in the care place and to visit them regularly. The social worker may cooperate with a special social instructor, who works together with the child, the family and the substitute care place. Our team also includes a family therapist who meets with the clients. The child's chances of returning home are assessed throughout the process.
