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.

Apply for parenting help


In every family there are quarrels from time to time. Quarrel between parents or between parents and children. If the quarrels occur more and more often, it is a great burden. Parents and children sometimes need support. Educational aids provide this support. Help for upbringing is the name for various offers of help in case of problems and in crisis situations of families.

If you would like to receive help from the Youth Welfare Office, you must contact them. The help is not an obligation, but an offer. The first step is often a consultation with the Youth Welfare Office. There you can explain your problem. The staff can give you suggestions on how to solve the problem.

Children, adolescents or young adults can also get help from the Youth Welfare Office on their own. Parents don't need to know about it if the young people don't want it.

The educational aids are based on the interests and needs of the child or young person. The basis for the grant is the assistance plan procedure. In the assistance plan procedure, the guardians, the children or young people and the Youth Welfare Office are involved.

There are different types of educational aids:

  • A pedagogue advises and supports parents on parenting issues (educational counselling).
  • A pedagogical concept in a group is intended to promote the social development of older children and adolescents (social group work).
  • A socio-pedagogical specialist tries to help children or young people (educational assistance).
  • Children get help if their parents have a mental illness.
  • Promotion of the independence of the child or young person while maintaining the connection to the family (care assistant).
  • Caring for and caring for a child in an emergency situation. For example, the child can be placed in a foster family or in an inpatient youth welfare facility for a certain period of time (home education, assisted living or intensive socio-pedagogical individual care).
  • For children and young people with mental disabilities, there is also integration assistance (which is not part of the educational aid). Of course, they are also entitled to educational assistance. Assistance and integration assistance may be granted simultaneously or in combination.

Requirements

An important prerequisite for the success of the service is your willingness to accept help and to work on change.

The costs shall be borne by the competent authority.

In the case of educational assistance in partial or full inpatient form, cost contributions may be charged.

What else should I know?

There is a legal entitlement to educational assistance. In addition to parents and children, others can also make use of these aids, such as a guardian or caregivers of the child.
