Types of care

Foster child welfare includes various types of family care. With full-time care, for example, the care and upbringing of children is ensured around the clock. This form of care is often offered for a manageable period of time, but can also be longer term. Another form is on-call care, which makes it possible to take in children or young people in crisis situations, often even on the same day. The length of stay can range from a few days to two or three months until the future prospects for the child are clarified. This information comes from, among others familienportal.de.

Protection concepts and rights

Since the introduction of the Child and Youth Strengthening Act (KJSG) in the summer of 2021, the general conditions for foster children and foster parents have also improved. The development and application of protection concepts that serve to protect children from danger and violence is now mandatory. The youth welfare office and the foster parents work closely together to ensure that the child's well-being is always the top priority. Great emphasis is placed on paying attention to sibling relationships; These should be taken into account in support plans as long as it is in the best interests of the child.

Close cooperation between the birth parents and the foster parents is also encouraged. The youth welfare office is committed to this in order to avoid conflicts of loyalty and to enable interactions to be as harmonious as possible. In addition, foster parents are entitled to comprehensive advice from the youth welfare office on educational, legal and organizational issues. This support is particularly valuable for everyone involved.
