Fachberatung im Kinderschutz

If suspicions of possible risk to a child's well-being exist, a risk assessment by a so-called insoweit erfahrene Fachkraft ("insofar experienced specialist") becomes necessary. Although this assessment has been a legal requirement in Germany since 2005, questions remain unanswered. The handbook addresses topics that are important for professional counseling in child protection, such as violence, inclusive child protection and family contexts. The authors impart competencies that range from reflecting on one's own professional attitude to telephone counseling and migration-sensitive child protection.
