When families experience problems related to the safety of family members and the development of children, they can turn to local community teams. Sometimes, the help from the community team is insufficient, and safety issues escalate. In such situations, families are referred to an intensive care team.
If they cannot resolve the problems with assistance, a public authority, an institution, or a safety organization may request an investigation by a child protection council, with the aim of examining a child protection measure for the child(ren). In this way, various roles are employed to enhance safety and ensure the child's development.
