The administration department creates an organizational framework for the specialist departments of the Office for Children, Youth and Family Affairs by ensuring that both technical and personnel resources are available.

Youth welfare planning is responsible, among other things, for the child and youth development plan, the planning of childcare places in publicly funded daycare facilities, open youth work facilities and public playgrounds.

The tasks of the youth welfare planning department also include the coordination and further development of the municipal prevention chain. With the municipal prevention chain, the city of Bonn is creating a system of preventative measures to support and accompany children and young people throughout their development - from birth to the transition to working life or university. This is accompanied by a network of stakeholders in Bonn who are committed to helping young people grow up successfully and participate in society. They are not only to be found in child and youth welfare services, but also in schools and other educational institutions, in social services, in the health sector, in cultural institutions and in sport. The municipal prevention chain forms an umbrella for the cooperation of all these players, promoting cross-system coordination and planning in the interests of children and young people. The first part of the municipal prevention chain is formed by early help (for children aged zero to three), the second part by the "Kinderstark - NRW schafft Chancen" program (for children aged four and over and young people).
