The costs for home education or other forms of assisted living are largely borne by the Youth Welfare Office. However, you must contribute to the costs to a reasonable extent. Please ask the responsible Youth Welfare Office about this.

Process flow

Please contact the responsible Youth Welfare Office.

In a personal conversation, you will be shown possible help. The Youth Welfare Office will try to support you so that your child can continue to stay with you.

If the Youth Welfare Office deems it necessary to place your child in a home or in another form of assisted living, you can submit a corresponding application for help with upbringing.

All parties involved (you, your child, the caregivers from the childcare facility and the Youth Welfare Office) meet for a help plan discussion. The aid plan specifies how the aid is to be structured and what objectives are to be achieved.

The Youth Welfare Office is looking for a suitable facility. You can express your wishes. If there are multiple options, you can choose the setup.

It is regularly checked whether the help is still suitable and whether your child can come back to the family.
