Municipal Early Intervention Network

The Federal Child Protection Act mandates that municipalities create binding network structures in early intervention services.

The "Municipal Network for Early Childhood Support" is responsible for this in the city of Bremen. The network aims to "create sufficient services and cooperative structures that strengthen and support parents in enabling their children to grow up well and healthily" (Rules of Procedure).

This is achieved through various activities (including joint public relations work or the organization of conferences, joint assessment of the needs of families, and coordination of procedures in child protection)
 

Meeting location:
Office for Social Services

Meetings are held
twice a year, on Wednesday afternoons from 2 pm to 5 pm.

Participation Requirements:
The rules of procedure include a list of services and institutions that should be represented. This list is based on the one mentioned in the Child and Youth Welfare Act (KKG, §3). The aim is to achieve interdisciplinary representation, encompassing all relevant institutions and services that regularly interact with pregnant women and parents of young children. Associations will send mandated representatives who will then disseminate the information within their own organizations.

Cooperation with other working groups and committees
is possible on a case-by-case/topic basis; not structurally. However, it does constitute cooperation when associations send representatives to the network.
