*2025-04-02*

I 2022 blev den danske version af CoPE, Akut Barn, opdateret, men den internationale version blev ikke opdateret. I den danske version blev mange data forbedret, og der blev tilføjet hjælp til anvendelse af indsatsnøgleord. Det er virkelig ærgerligt, at denne version ikke blev taget i betragtning og stadig er forældet.
