Strong for children: Network coordinators in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss active!

A brave step for child protection in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss! Alexandra Bertho, the committed network coordinator in the youth welfare office, has been working tirelessly to protect children from dangers since the beginning of the year. Together with five other coordinators from the cities of Korschenbroich, Jüchen and the municipality of Rommerskirchen, she implements new legal requirements that are aimed at creating interdisciplinary networks in order to react quickly and effectively to threats to child well -being.

"We are here to breathe new life into the existing structures in the district!", Explains the passionate social worker. At the beginning of November there is a big meeting for around 100 specialists in the Edith Stein family forum. Representatives from all professional groups who come into contact with child welfare - from the police to the free sponsors of youth welfare to the health department - are invited to exchange ideas and learn from each other. "Training is the key!" Says Bertho, who has already organized numerous events this year to raise awareness of child protection.

children are our future - action is the order of the day!

As a specialist advisor for child protection, Bertho is the most important contact for everyone who has to deal with minors in Korschenbroich, Jüchen and Rommerskirchen professionally - be it a doctor, a midwife or even caretaker in schools. Your goal is clear: immediate support for children who are exposed to dangers through competent and committed adults. Bertho brings valuable experiences from her dual degree and her earlier work with children and adolescents, which underpins their competence.

The Mönchengladbacher emphasizes the excellent cooperation with other youth welfare offices and emphasizes: "Our goal is to form a strong network in order to be able to act lightning quickly and efficiently in an emergency". It is never enough when it comes to the protection of our children, and Bertho is determined to sensitize even more people to this indispensable topic!
