What if my child needs youth services at school? <\/h6>\r\n

Sometimes part of your child’s extra help consists of youth services. Consider extra tutoring, or coaching for your child at school.<\/p>\n

The school and the municipality are working together on this. SPPOH makes agreements about this once every 4 years with the municipalities of The Hague, Rijswijk and Leidschendam-Voorburg.<\/p>\n

The school investigates what your child needs in terms of extra help. What is going on and what plan might best fit this, the school writes down in a developmental perspective plan (OPP). The school discusses this OPP with you as a parent.<\/p>\n

If your child needs youth services to get a good appropriate education, information about this is in the OPP. This tells you what kind of care or help your child needs and how it will be arranged.<\/p>\n

Youth aid is implemented by the municipality. This is free. As a parent, you can also ask your municipality or family doctor for youth assistance yourself.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

What is school social work? <\/h6>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Do you have questions or concerns about your child’s behavior – or parenting, for example? Or are there questions or concerns from the school? Then you can contact the school social worker.<\/p>\n

The school social worker offers support to your child, to you as a parent and to the school with these types of questions. The main goal is for your child to have healthy development and education.<\/p>\n

The school social worker works with the school, with your child and with you as a parent. You make an appointment for an interview. And if necessary, he or she engages other help. You can think about family help, or help from a psychologist or remedial educator.<\/p>\n

In The Hague and Rijswijk, school social work in elementary school is provided by
\n SMW+<\/strong>
\n<\/a>. In Leidschendam-Voorburg, this is the organization
\n Kwadraad<\/strong>
\n<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

How do I report to school social work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can ask at school for the contact information of your school social worker. You can then make an appointment for an interview.<\/p>\n

But you can also contact directly yourself
\n SMW+<\/strong>
\n<\/a> (The Hague and Rijswijk) or
\n Kwadraad<\/strong>
\n<\/a> (Leidschendam-Voorburg). They organize school social work for elementary schools in the region.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

What is youth aid? <\/h6>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

It is important for every child to grow up healthy and safe. Sometimes, as a parent, you can use advice or help with this, such as behavioral problems. Or if your child is clearly not comfortable in his or her own skin. That is what youth aid is for.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can also turn to youth aid with questions and concerns about living with a disability, money matters, raising your child(ren), relationships, education, housing, care and informal care. Very broadly so. Feel free to ask for help or advice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there are waiting lists for youth services in many places. It may take a few months until help starts. Therefore, sign up as soon as possible. The sooner you do this, the better you can be helped.<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>If your child needs youth services to get a good appropriate education, information about this is in the developmental perspective plan (OPP). As a parent, you can also ask for youth assistance yourself. You can do this directly with your municipality, or through your doctor.<\/p>\n
