Das Erziehungsziel einer selbstbestimmten Persönlichkeit weiter denken!

With the Child and Youth Strengthening Act 2021, the legislator has standardised the development of a self-determined personality as an educational goal in SGB VIII. The legal significance of this addition is controversial, but according to the legislator, it is a programmatic requirement without changing the scope of services. However, with regard to support for personal development, it is crucial to make access to help low-threshold. This also opens up an argument in favour of low-threshold or even unconditional youth welfare that is not oriented towards deficit characteristics in particular.
