Violence and abuse against children are serious threats to children’s well-being, and the need for societies to take action is increasingly recognised, in both the Nordic region and internationally. Children exposed to violence and abuse are vulnerable and often in need of multiple services, creating the risk of potential “secondary victimi-sation”. This book targets a model that has been implemented in the Nordic countries for more than a decade, and that attempts to meet children’s needs by offering multiple services in child-friendly prem-ises and “under one roof ”—the Nordic Barnahusmodel. The model was first introduced in Iceland and drew on experiences from Children’s Advocacy Centres (CAC) in the USA. In this book, the Nordic con-cept of Barnahus will be used, as it acknowledges the process of transla-tion and adaption that the implementation of the CAC model into the Nordic welfare state context encompasses, and that we will elaborate in this chapter.
