Youth Welfare Office

What is that?

The Jugendamt (Youth Welfare Office) is a public authority for children, young people, and families. It supports families in everyday life and helps ensure that children can grow up safely.

What are the authority's responsibilities?

The Jugendamt (Youth Welfare Office) can help with parenting and family matters. For example:

  • It can help you find a daycare place for your child
  • It can help you determine how much you need to pay for the daycare place
  • If a child is at risk, it provides protection and support

Who is right here?

You can contact the Jugendamt (Youth Welfare Office) if you have a child, are expecting a child, or need help with parenting or family matters. Children and young people can also contact the Jugendamt themselves. You can also contact it if you are worried about a child.

Each district has its own Jugendamt (Youth Welfare Office). As a rule, the Jugendamt in the district where you are registered is responsible.
