Child- and youth welfare law in Germany

Taking into account the KJSG of June 2021, the author presents child and youth law with SGB VIII at its centre in a clear and compact manner. Analyses and commentary appear consistently up-to-date and comprehensible, as he largely dispenses with legalese. Readers - custodial parents, other guardians, young people concerned, social educators in institutions, students - and last but not least the committed "lobbyists" in the youth welfare committees - are thus provided with a quick, profound overview of the essential policy and practice-relevant positions; the focus is on legal entitlements: offers, services as well as important and useful general regulations of the German Social Code for Child and Youth Welfare.
