LVU

LVU is the act with special provisions on the care of young people, that is, the compulsory care of children, and decisions on such care are taken by a court. The law can be used when a child is being harmed and the necessary care cannot be given voluntarily. The fact that a court decides is a safeguard for legal certainty, because compulsory care is a major intrusion into the life of the child and the family.
