Anonymity. You have the option to remain anonymous when you contact the hotline. If this is your wish, it is a good idea to make this clear in the beginning of the conversation.

The police

Social services in your municipality
According to §154 in the Act on Social Services, everyone who knows about a child or an adolescent living under circumstances that endanger the child’s or youngsters health and upbringing, is obligated to contact the municipality. Examples can be if a youngster is involved in an extremist environment or is planning to travel to a conflict area abroad. In the case where there is not merely a suspicion or concern but an actual knowledge about the well-being and development of a youngster being endangered, your obligation is to contact the social services in your municipality.
According to §153 in the Act on Social Services there is an increased obligation for public employees to inform the social services about an adolescent’s poor well-being, if they gain knowledge about it through their work.
Both children and adults can contact the municipality for guidance and advice on how to get out of extremism, as the municipalities are obligated to provide free guidance on this.
