Details
Prerequisite
There are serious problems in the family.
Procedure
As a guardian, contact the responsible youth welfare office with your problems. It will assess your case and decide whether placing your child outside the family is a suitable measure. It will help you with the application and also advise you on other options for help.
If it authorises help, all parties involved will draw up a help plan together. This sets out how the help is to be organised and how long it is to last.
Note: The youth welfare office usually plans and agrees the home education or other form of supervised living together with the family. If the welfare of the child is at risk, the family court can also have children and young people placed against the will of their legal guardians. This is particularly the case if the legal guardians are unwilling or unable to avert the danger to the child.
