Der Schutzauftrag bei Kindeswohlgefährdung

One task of child and youth welfare is to protect children and adolescents from dangers to their well-being. This protective mandate was further specified with the introduction of Section 8a of the Social Code Book VIII on October 1, 2005. But what does this protective mandate really mean for a private provider of child and youth welfare? How do professionals handle the task of risk assessment? This book aims to provide answers by having the author examine the practical implementation of the protective mandate in a private provider, based on theoretical foundations (history and fields of work in child and youth welfare, legal regulations, forms of child welfare endangerment, the risk assessment process, design of agreements, necessity of further training, liability, data protection, stress factors, etc.) and its significance for professionals.
