Child abuse, advice as a result of first contacts

Number of cases in which the Child Abuse Reporting Agency (AMK) provides advice as a result of first contacts concerning abuse of a child or children (aged 0-17 years).

The AMK advises the person reporting a suspected case of child abuse. The advice given is counted as one single contact between the AMK and the informant.
The National Youth Monitor presents both the number of cases of advice given and the number of children concerned.
