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

An educational assistant or a care assistant can help a child or adolescent in everyday life, in dealing with their parents and with social problems.

Possible aids are:

  • Conversations about problems, fears and behavior,
  • Help in coming to terms with stressful experiences,
  • Assist in problem-solving with family, friends, teachers or others,
  • Assistance with administrative procedures.
  • In the case of older young people, there is also other help: support in finding work and housing,
  • help in detachment from parents,
  • Help to become independent.

Note: In contrast to "socio-pedagogical family assistance", an educational assistant concentrates his or her help largely on the child or young person concerned. If possible, it involves the social environment.

It is a type of educational aid. It may also apply to young adults.

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

  • Please contact the responsible Youth Welfare Office.
  • In a personal conversation, you will be shown possible help. This can be, for example, a parenting assistant or a care assistant for your child.
  • If this assistance is eligible, then submit an application for educational assistance.
  • Everyone involved (you, your child. Educational assistants/care assistants 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.

As a rule, the Youth Welfare Office commissions an independent welfare agency. This is where the educational assistant or the care assistant is employed.
