Foster families are entitled to support and advice before and during the admission of a foster child. This also applies in cases in which neither help with raising the child nor integration assistance is provided and in cases in which the foster person does not require permission for full-time care (up to the third degree of relationship).
The tasks and requirements of foster families with a youth welfare mandate differ significantly from those of a family without a youth welfare mandate. As private individuals, you carry out a public task in the context of providing educational assistance. You thereby undertake to cooperate within the framework of the assistance planning and the care agreement concluded between you and the foster child service.
In order to successfully and long-term meet the requirements of a foster family, you need professional support from specialists with proven expertise in foster child support issues. Continuous specialist support and advice on foster care relationships helps to stabilize them in the long term and is therefore an important contribution to ensuring the well-being of the child.
