Service area in Düsseldorf

Our focus in Düsseldorf is on city districts 9 and 10. We also review requests depending on distance and staffing capacity.

  • Stadtbezirk 9
  • Stadtbezirk 10

Within the areas we serve there are no fixed exclusion areas. We review every request individually.

Responsible youth welfare office

The youth welfare office at the child’s place of residence is responsible. In Düsseldorf this is the Jugendamt der Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf.

The youth welfare office assesses the individual need and decides on approval and scope. We coordinate the placement with the responsible office and take local procedures and contacts into account.

Schools in Düsseldorf

Our school support addresses children and young people regardless of the school type.

  • Primary schools
  • Comprehensive and secondary schools
  • Secondary modern and middle schools
  • Grammar schools
  • Special needs schools
  • other suitable school settings

We support pupils at primary schools, secondary schools and special needs schools. The deciding factor is the individual support need of the child or young person, not the school type.

Local experience and cooperation

Miro Sozialdienste has been active as a child, youth and family welfare provider since 2024 and continues to expand its placements in Düsseldorf.

In Düsseldorf we have already gained experience supporting and working with schools. We understand school support as a shared support process between family, school, youth welfare office and professional. Our coordination supports the placement professionally and organisationally.

How school support works

School support is applied for through the responsible youth welfare office. Referrals also reach us directly from the office, parents or schools.

Once approved, we select a suitable professional and coordinate the start with family, school and youth welfare office. In the first help-planning or kick-off meeting we agree the assignment, goals and cooperation. The general process is described on the school support page.
