If you have any questions, problems or complaints concerning daycare and school matters, you can get advice from the quality and complaint management.

The service centre is your point of contact for questions about the teaching profession, lateral entry or training.

The teacher, daycare management and, if applicable, the children’s daycare centre are your first points of contact for all questions relating to the care of your child in a daycare centre. If there are then still problems or you want to lodge a complaint, you can contact the Daycare Supervision.

In particular, if the well-being of your child is at risk (e.g., due to defective play equipment, lack of supervision, insufficient number or qualification of staff, lack of inclusion, behaviour that violates boundaries), Daycare Supervision will respond immediately. You can also contact Daycare Supervision in cases in which the care contract or additional agreements have been violated (e.g., unjustified additional payments, closing times, insufficient food).

If you have any questions about the daycare voucher or need help finding a daycare, please contact your Youth Welfare Office

Our Complaint Management will gladly accept complaints that you cannot resolve with these offices and will check on a quick problem resolution.

School authority in each district is responsible for the so-called external school affairs, for example, the school buildings, construction work, equipping the school with teaching and learning materials, school enrolment and the distribution of school places.

In addition to the school authorities, the districts also have a regional supervision of schools. The school councils working there will advise you on the educational pathway and changing schools and are the next higher authority for problems that cannot be resolved in the school.
