Which place to enter?

The location is used to determine the responsible office for the selected administrative service. In most cases you can enter your place of residence to find the competent authority. However, there are also cases in which a different location must be specified. Here are some examples:

Birth certificateYou want to get married and need a birth certificate. You live in Hanover, but you were born in Celle. You must therefore state your place of birth, i.e. Celle.

Business registrationYou would like to register a business in Braunschweig. Your place of residence is Hanover. You must therefore state the location of your future business, i.e. Braunschweig.

Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Applying for a parenting assistant or care assistant

Read aloud

A parenting support worker or care assistant can help a child or young person in everyday life, in dealing with their parents and with social problems.

Possible forms of help are

  • Talking about problems, fears and behavior,
  • Help in coming to terms with stressful experiences,
  • Support in solving problems with family, friends, teachers or other people,
  • Support with visits to the authorities.
  • Older young people also receive further help: Support in finding work and accommodation,
  • Help with separation from parents,
  • Help with becoming independent.

Note: In contrast to "socio-educational family support", a parenting support worker concentrates their help largely on the child or young person in question. If possible, he involves the social environment.

This is a type of educational support service. It can also apply to young adults.

Who should I contact?

Requirements

  • You are the person with custody of a child (parent or guardian)
  • Not all of them can guarantee that the child will be well
  • The help of an educational assistant or care assistant is suitable and necessary (this is checked by the Youth Welfare Office).

What are the fees?

In the case of outpatient educational assistance, there are no costs for the applicant. The costs are covered by the Youth Welfare Office.

Process flow

  • Contact the responsible youth welfare office.
  • You will be shown possible help in a personal meeting. This could be, for example, a parenting support worker or a care assistant for your child.
  • If this help comes into question, then apply for educational assistance.
  • All parties involved (you, your child, the educational advisor/care assistant and the youth welfare office) will meet to discuss a support plan. The help plan sets out how the help is to be organized and which goals are to be achieved.

The youth welfare office usually commissions an independent welfare organization. The educational advisor or care assistant is employed there.
