View, copy and correct the details in a youth care record
If your child receives youth care, the care worker or the institution will draw up a youth care record. The record contains information on the youth care that your child is receiving, such as treatment plans and examination reports. You can view the youth care record or request a copy of it. You can also have the youth care record updated.
