Involvement of an experienced specialist (ieFK)

If there are strong indications that the welfare of a child or young person is at risk, the risk of danger must be assessed by several professionals working together.

Tasks:

  • Prompt and future safeguarding of the child's welfare
  • Advisory support for the specialist analysis until a decision is made
  • Support in the examination and assessment of already known indications of a risk to the child's welfare through external case reflection
  • Assessment of the current life situation of the child or young person
  • Assessment of suitable and necessary assistance and protective measures
  • Structured and qualified situation analysis and assessment of the risk of danger

The experienced specialist (ieFK) does not make a decision in terms of case responsibility - this remains with the specialist responsible for the case.

How do I get in touch with an experienced specialist?

Contact is made directly by the enquirer with the experienced professionals in the following list, all of whom specialise in child endangerment and have practical experience in assessing risks to child welfare. Counselling is free of charge.

The entire process of involving an ieFK is currently being continuously developed and has not yet been finalised.

Legal basis

  • Introduction with Section 8a SGB VIII in 2005 as a binding standard for employees of independent youth welfare organisations for risk assessment in cases of suspected child endangerment
  • Expansion with the entry into force of the Federal Child Protection Act (BKiSchG) in 2012
  • § Section 4 (1) and (2) of the Act on Cooperation and Information in Child Protection (KKG)

Child protection guide

To provide guidance on what to do if there are indications that a child's welfare is at risk, the Early Intervention Network, together with its various partners and the Chemnitz Youth Welfare Office, has developed a Child Protection Guide. It is primarily aimed at professionals from youth welfare organisations and people who are entrusted with the care of minors in a professional context.
