Fields of action
Family-friendly and family-oriented action is a focus of municipal work. Cities, districts and municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia are launching numerous innovative ideas and support services for local families. These take into account the diversity of families and their different needs.
In order to give all children and young people in the state the same opportunities for education and participation, many local authorities are developing solutions that increase the use of state benefits from the education and participation package (BuT), for example. These benefits (e.g. for school and daycare excursions, lunchtime meals, learning support) help to sustainably improve the development opportunities of children and young people at risk of poverty in particular.
