Usage notes
- Legally, as of June 2015, foster care in Finland is regulated in the Child Welfare Act (lastensuojelulaki, 417/2007) and the Family Care Act (perhehoitolaki, 263/2015). The term perhehoito is used of foster care in a family and the term is officially translated as "family care" into English. Similar care in an institution is called laitoshuolto and translated as "institutional care" into English. An umbrella term covering both forms of care is sijaishuolto, or "substitute care".
