The Child Protection Act defines children’s fundamental rights and the guarantees for enforcing them, as well as the system and core regulations of child protection.

Local municipalities, guardianship authorities, courts, police, prosecutor’s offices, probation services, and other organizations and individuals responsible for child protection act in accordance with the law, always respecting the best interests of the child and ensuring their legally recognized rights.
