Peer review- New model to alternative care http://stm.fi/artikkeli/-/asset_publisher/vertaisarvioinnilla-lisaa-osallisuutta-ja-vaikuttavuutta-lastensuojelun-sijaishuoltoon?_101_INSTANCE_yr7QpNmlJmSj_languageId=en_US Peer reviews to promote social inclusion in and effectiveness of substitute care in child protection A peer review model in child protection services is currently piloted in counties in Finland. The aim is to strengthen young peoples' participation in their own living environment, to create new ways to develop substitute care, and to prevent maltreatment.

Peer review The peer review activities are coordinated by a national child protection organisation, Pesäpuu - Centre of Expertise in Child Welfare. A co-creation group consisting of child protection professionals and young adults with a background in substitute care was established in the autumn of 2017 in Jyväskylä. The group was assigned to develop a peer review model for institutional care in cooperation with the child protection services of the City of Jyväskylä.

Peer review What does a peer review mean? Peer reviews provide opportunities for young people to assess everyday life in substitute care, to give feedback on their wellbeing and, consequently, to exercise influence in their own living environment. Peer reviews also increase transparency between different actors in substitute care and produce important qualitative information about substitute care. 

Peer review Young people are met and heard by their grown-up peers who have first-hand experience of life in substitute care. Peer reviewers are trained for their task in the co-creation groups, and they are bound by the secrecy obligation. Being a peer lowers the threshold to share one's experiences and peer reviewer are not in a superior position in relation to the young persons they meet.”
