Abstract
The data is part of a survey conducted by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, which aimed to provide information on the activities, scope and content of round-the-clock child protection units. This data set consists of a survey conducted in municipalities and joint municipal authorities in order to identify the provision and organisation of child protection services in municipalities and joint municipal authorities.
The first question asked was whether the municipality in question had any child protection institutions of its own. It was also asked whether the municipality belonged to a joint municipal authority and whether the municipality purchased child protection services from external providers. Next, the name of the joint municipal authority was asked and whether the joint municipal authority had its own child protection facilities, and which municipalities used them.
The background variables are the municipality name and municipality code.
