Take advantage of the services offered by the educational child and youth protection services
Service description
Young people are entitled to a healthy physical, mental and emotional upbringing. The protection of children and young people is therefore based primarily on two pillars: educational measures such as the implementation of youth protection projects (e.g. child and youth helplines), which have a preventative effect (educational child and youth protection), and legal regulations to limit harmful influences such as the serving of alcohol or the sale of tobacco products (regulatory child and youth protection).
Who should I contact?
Responsibility lies with the youth welfare offices of the districts and independent cities, as the local authorities responsible for child and youth welfare. As the regional authority responsible for child and youth welfare, the State Youth Welfare Office (Children and Youth Division of the State Administration Office) is responsible.
The Department for Sovereignty Matters, Public Safety and Foreign Nationals’ Affairs at the State Administration Office is the appeal and supervisory authority responsible for the regulatory protection of children and young people.
