About lastensuojelu.info
The website was originally produced by the Central Union for Child Welfare in 2010 with support from RAY (Lastensuojelusta maahanmuuttajille 2009–2010). Its content and functionalities were updated by the Central Union for Child Welfare in 2022.
The reforming of the website has been implemented as a part of the project Perheet keskiöön! (Families in focus!). The project was a STEA-funded project for the development and coordination of organizations’ family center activities (2018–2021).
