Joint KoKi specialist days
The two KoKi offices in the city and district of Hof jointly organize a cross-departmental symposium focusing on early childhood at least once a calendar year. These specialist days are aimed at various professions from the field of early childhood as well as doctors, lawyers, nursery school teachers, educators and other specialists who are interested in this subject area.
In recent years, for example, specialist days have been held on the following topics:
- "Injured children's souls - what professionals need to know about traumatized children" (2019)
- "When bruises on children arouse suspicion - A case for child protection? Intervene, support and don't look away!" (2020)
- "Mental health around pregnancy and birth and its influence on early childhood" (2023)
If you are interested in attending our next symposium, please contact us.
Further training as part of the Early Childhood Network
In addition to the specialist days, we also offer regular training events for our professionals and volunteers. The range of topics is diverse and has so far included issues relating to data protection, confidentiality, child endangerment in accordance with Sections 8a and 8b SGB VIII as well as the new Federal Child Protection Act and the Act on Cooperation and Information in Child Protection (KKG).
The events take place in the Hof region and offer professional input as well as an interdisciplinary exchange with colleagues from different professions.
