Supporting newly arrived parents – a guide

Parents who have recently moved to Baden-Württemberg need information that is tailored to their situation, so they can quickly and easily find their way around the education system. This should be wide-ranging enough for them to be able to cope with practical challenges; but it should not be overfilled with too much detail. The Wegweiser website supports parents in finding their bearings in their new home and gives integration officers, parent representatives, teachers and parent mentors, who are in contact with newly arrived parents, diverse options for supporting them.
