The LASTA screening model ensures effective information sharing and multidisciplinary collaboration between authorities in situations where a child is suspected to be a victim of physical abuse or sexual offences. By using the LASTA screening model, a child’s situation can be clarified more quickly in an investigation process, which serves the best interests of the child. In addition, the screening model strengthens risk evaluation both in child protection services and police and supports coordination of investigation and child protection processes in a child-friendly way.
