Child and youth protection

Child and youth protection

Bocholt is committed to the protection of minors

Clubs, associations and institutions in Bocholt actively implement the regulations for the protection of minors. To this end, they signed a declaration of principles, the "Child and Youth Protection Declaration for Bocholt".

... to observe and implement the provisions and objectives of child and youth protection under the guiding principle of "protecting and strengthening children".

Bocholt Declaration on the Protection of Children and Young People

Bocholt Declaration on the Protection of Children and Young People in the Wording

"Child and youth protection, under the guiding principle of "protecting and strengthening children", is about protecting young people from dangers and negative influences in the public sphere and empowering them to deal with the existing risks. This is a challenge for all adults. After all, the legal regulations for the protection of young people must be observed and followed. Everyone who deals with young people has a responsibility, whether in clubs and associations, in the catering trade, in retail or in other institutions.

Every adult and his or her behaviour is important for compliance with the protection of young people.

The signatories declare that they observe and implement the provisions and objectives of the protection of children and young people under the guiding principle of "protecting and strengthening children".

They recognise that it is also the task of event organisers - especially clubs and associations - to strengthen children and young people against dangers of all kinds. In concrete terms, this means that the prohibitions on the sale of cigarettes and alcoholic beverages under the Youth Protection Act must be observed.

The signatories take their responsibility towards minors seriously. They ask for proof of age and thus protect children and young people. The residence regulations at public events must also be observed. Here, too, the organisers obtain certainty through age checks.

Furthermore, when holding public events, the signatories undertake to: - print age information on advertising media, - not hold or advertise events that promote alcohol consumption and thus endanger the health of young people (so-called "flat rate parties"), - to ask all minors to leave the event at midnight, - to offer a non-alcoholic drink at least as cheap as the cheapest alcoholic drink in accordance with the law on restaurants and bars, as well as to be open to a regular dialogue with the Youth, Family and Sports Department of the City of Bocholt on issues relevant to youth protection!"
