Your work area Children and adolescents affected by violence and their environment receive advice and support at the Child Protection Centre (KSZ). Great emphasis is placed on support for finding your own solutions. Professionals and third parties can also contact the KSZ if it is reasonable to assume that children or adolescents are affected by violence. Through the children and youth emergency call, help seekers receive telephone or personal support on site - anonymously, confidentially and free of charge. The Parents Hotline “Active” supports parents if they are strongly challenged with parenting tasks in the short term and it is no longer possible to solve disputes without violence. The interdisciplinary interaction at the OKS helps in situations with suspicion or certainty of violence against children and adolescents. Networking and cooperation are central to child protection. In addition to the advisory services, the KSZ trains and sensitizes various target groups with a variety of training and prevention services.
