School social work supports pupils in the development of their personality, aims to compensate for social disadvantages and promote integration. School social work particularly supports individually and structurally disadvantaged children and young people. The school social worker assumes an independent, mediating position between school, parents and pupils and supports the co-operation between family, school and external help. For the school social worker, the development of social skills, social integration, the promotion of personality and critical faculties as well as the development of career prospects are the main focus

The school social worker’s programmes are primarily geared towards the interests of the pupils. At the beginning of each school year, pupils and parents are asked by the school social worker what programmes they would like to see at school. This ranges from simple club requests to information events for parents (e.g. on the subject of internet safety and data protection).

There is also the opportunity to realise important topics in a project throughout the school year (e.g. drug prevention, sexual prevention, etc.). Pupils, teachers and parents can contact the school social worker.

All programmes are always open and voluntary for the people involved.
