Hotline
Description:
Barnaheill – Save the Children Iceland has operated a hotline since November 2001. The hotline has worked very closely with the national police and with other hotlines. The hotline is a member of the international organisation INHOPE, and participates actively in the development of INHOPE. The National Commissioner of Police is in charge of analysing reports and is a partner with Barnaheill – Save the Children Iceland in running the hotline.
The National Police investigate leads and forward them to Barnaheill who uploads data to the IHRMS database – both will cooperate with other INHOPE hotlines. The National Police will also forward leads to Europol and Interpol.
