§ 37a Eighth Social Code (SGB VIII) https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/sgb_8/__37a.html
Are you a full-time carer for an older child and/or young person? Then you will receive professional support and advice from the foster care service.
Older children and young people in full-time care have special needs. These needs require close and intensive advice and support from those involved in the care relationship.
Foster families are entitled to support and advice before and during the placement of a foster child. This also applies in cases where the foster child is not provided with any educational or integration assistance and in cases where the foster carer does not require permission for full-time care (up to the third degree of kinship).
The tasks and requirements for foster families with a youth welfare mandate differ significantly from those of a family without a youth welfare mandate. As private individuals, you are carrying out a public mandate within the framework of child-rearing assistance. You are thereby obliged to cooperate within the framework of the assistance planning and the care agreement concluded between you and the foster care service.
In order to successfully meet the requirements of a foster family in the long term, you need professional support from specialists with proven expertise in the field of foster care. 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.
The Youth Welfare Office or the Foster Child Service supports and accompanies foster parents and foster children with a wide range of services.
Foster parents contact their local youth welfare office or foster child service. There they receive specific advice and support before taking in the child or young person and during the duration of the foster care arrangement. This also applies in cases where neither educational assistance nor integration assistance is provided for the child or young person. It also applies to cases where the foster parent does not require permission for full-time care in accordance with Section 44.
