By making social structure data available, it is also possible to statistically describe the social situation in individual city districts and use it for different planning developments.
Cross-cutting issues
Inclusion
The right to inclusion for people with disabilities is enshrined in international and national legislation, for example in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) or in the Social Codes of the Federal Republic of Germany. The goal is for all systems to open up inclusively, from daycare to school, training, work, leisure opportunities, and services for seniors. To achieve this goal, institutional barriers for people with disabilities are to be consistently dismantled, thus ensuring participation in all areas of life.
In December 2015, the City of Stuttgart adopted a mission statement for the implementation of the goals of the UNCRPD (see download attachment 1 to GRDrs 793/2015).
The Youth Welfare Office of the City of Stuttgart represents an inclusive understanding of upbringing and education and pursues the goal that all children and adolescents and their families experience full social participation, regardless of their social, cultural, financial or health situation and other differences.
Role of planning
Youth welfare planning analyzes existing systems and possible obstructive framework structures with the providers and facilities and develops measures to remove barriers. The aim is to develop child and youth welfare and the entire service system inclusively with all those involved.
Current development topics
For the inclusive orientation of daycare facilities, the program “Kita für alle in Stuttgart” (daycare for all in Stuttgart) was presented to the municipal council for the deliberations on the 2020/2021 double budget (see download GRDrs 84/2019 and Annex 1 to GRDrs 84/2019). The resolution on implementation was passed in December 2019. The individual building blocks will now be launched step by step.

Gender
Gender work in Stuttgart is a cross-sectional task in all areas of child and youth welfare. It aims to secure, shape and further develop the foundations for gender-sensitive education for girls*, boys*, LGBTTIQ children and young people. It is committed to creating good framework conditions for girls* and boys* as well as LGBTTIQ children and young people to grow up, learn and live in Stuttgart.
The Child and Youth Protection Act with the addition of the Child and Youth Strengthening Act specifically calls for participation and co-determination at all levels. These participation processes are currently being implemented at various levels as follows:
AG Gender Stuttgart
As an expert committee, the Gender Working Group (under the leadership of Youth Welfare Planning) accompanies this work in Stuttgart at a professional level and thus makes an important contribution to the implementation of Section 9 (KJHG / SGB VIII) and Section 12 (7) of the State Implementation Act for the KJHG. The Gender Working Group has an advisory seat on the Youth Welfare Committee. Three delegated members each from the AG Mädchen*politik and the Fach AK Jungen*arbeit Stuttgart work in it.
The guidelines for gender-sensitive work in child and youth welfare were formulated under the leadership of the Gender Working Group and adopted by the municipal council in March 2007. The guidelines were updated in July 2018. Stuttgart’s child and youth welfare providers have committed to implementing the guidelines.
They provide an overview of the principles of gender-sensitive work in Stuttgart. They set out goals and tasks as well as important structural standards for successful work with girls* and boys*. The special circumstances of girls* and boys* and the resulting issues for practice are explained in detail.
The implementation of the guidelines in practice is supported by specialist days of the Gender Working Group, which are held every two years in cooperation with the LGBTTIQ Stuttgart Working Group.
Once a year, the Girls* Politics working group and the Boys* Work working group organize the Stuttgart Youth City Rally - Empowerment for all genders in cooperation with the Equal Opportunities Department, where pupils in grades 8/9 get to know the gender-sensitive services offered by Stuttgart’s child and youth welfare services in a playful and low-threshold way.

The small-scale analysis of quantitative and qualitative data is a planning instrument of youth welfare planning. The results of the analyses make it possible to present the social situation in Stuttgart’s districts and neighborhoods. The evaluations provide information about the distribution of different living situations of families and children as well as about population groups affected by poverty and social disadvantage. They are thus the basis for planning and controlling social work services and resources.
As a planning instrument, social reporting is part of youth welfare planning, whose task is to analyze the existing situation and needs in all fields of action of child and youth welfare against the background of the situation in the respective social area.
Role of planning
Youth welfare planning provides planning data, among other things, in the form of the “Social Data Atlas Children and Adolescents”. In the Social Data Atlas Children and Adolescents, the selection of topics and indicators is guided by the desire to view life situations as multidimensionally as possible. In addition to the general demographic indicators on population and household structures and the “classic” indicators on the financial situation and the economic situation, other dimensions of living situations and quality of life such as housing and living environment, education and health are also taken into account.
The Social Data Atlas is published approximately every three years and made available to policymakers as well as Stuttgart’s agencies and other relevant stakeholders.
Furthermore, youth welfare planning is involved in the conception and creation of further, interdepartmental monitoring instruments for social and urban planning.
Current development topics
In addition to the already established interagency coordinated social monitoring (opens in a new tab), which also serves as a data source for the social data atlas for children and young people, further monitoring systems are being successively developed.
Under the leadership of the Office of Urban Planning and Housing, a cross-agency project group is developing the “Neighborhood Monitoring Social Urban Development” for small-scale monitoring of living situations and urban spaces in Stuttgart. The Stuttgart Education Partnership department is designing an education monitoring system that will serve as the basis for future education reports. Youth welfare planning is involved in these developments.
