Inclusive Child and Youth Services: Certificate course

The Child and Youth Empowerment Act (KJSG) fundamentally changes the work of child and youth welfare services. Under the planned reform, child and youth welfare services would be responsible for all children and adolescents (regardless of their disabilities) starting in 2028. Child and youth welfare institutions will thus face new requirements, particularly with regard to needs assessment, participation planning, documentation, and coordination across service interfaces. The legislature has planned a seven-year transition period (2021 to 2028) for these adjustments. With the part-time certificate program in Inclusive Child and Youth Services, you’ll gain the qualifications in just one semester to actively shape the changes brought about by the Child and Youth Empowerment Act and apply them in your workplace. You’ll learn about the current legal requirements and become qualified to design participation processes in a legally compliant, person-centered, and effective manner.
