Full-time care for older children and young people Get advice

Are you a full-time caregiver for an older child and/or adolescent? Here you can find out how and where you can get professional advice and support.

Detailed description

If you are taking in older children and/or young people as part of your full-time care, you are entitled to advice and support. This applies even if the older children or young people do not receive any parenting or integration assistance. Even if you, as a close relative, do not require a care permit, you are entitled to this advice and support.

Older children and adolescents have special needs and this requires close and intensive consultation and support for those involved in the care relationship.
In order to successfully and long-term meet these requirements of a foster family, you will receive professional advice and support from specialists with proven expertise.

Continuous, specialist advice and support for foster care relationships helps to stabilize your foster family in the long term.
