Child and youth protection
Child protection service
The ASD has set up a "socio-educational child protection service" to protect children. As early help for families, this child protection service is a central point of contact for those seeking advice on the topic of child welfare and the prevention of child endangerment. The child protection service is also your point of contact in acute crises when the safety of children is at risk.
