Young people who are in increased need of support to compensate for social disadvantages or to overcome individual impairments are to be offered socio-educational assistance within the framework of youth social work (as part of youth welfare).

Areas of youth social work are

• the promotion of school and vocational training,
• integration into the world of work and
• their social integration.

In this context, suitable socio-educationally accompanied training and employment measures can be offered that take into account the abilities and developmental stage of these young people. During participation in school or vocational training measures, for example, accommodation can be offered in socio-educationally accompanied forms of housing.
