Principles for effective action in cases of suspected child endangerment
Children in difficult life situations depend on effective protection and targeted support. Professionals play a central role here: they are important caregivers and bear responsibility for the children entrusted to their care.
To fulfill this responsibility, fundamental knowledge of the duty to protect children and confidence in handling suspected cases of child endangerment are essential. At the same time, working with affected children, parents, and other involved parties repeatedly presents professionals with personal and professional challenges.
In this training course you will acquire the knowledge and confidence to effectively protect children, provide them with professional support, and also strengthen yourself.
