What does school social work do?
School social work is an open and free service for pupils, parents and teachers that is independently and permanently anchored in everyday school life.
The aim is to create a pleasant and social learning atmosphere for everyone in the school environment.
The school social work service is based on voluntariness and confidentiality. This means that all issues entrusted to me are treated confidentially and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
