The German-speaking Community amended the legal basis for Kaleido support services through the 2026 education and training measures decree. The measure places universal prevention coordination and a prevention adviser role into the statutory service structure.
What Changed?
The decree anchors universal prevention work in Kaleido’s legal tasks, including a prevention adviser role and a community-wide service unit. The change covers prevention work such as early-childhood and family-oriented support activities that were previously developed through project-based or less formal arrangements.
Old System vs New System
Universal prevention activities existed but were not anchored in the same statutory way within the Kaleido service structure.
The legal service structure now includes universal prevention coordination and a prevention adviser role as part of Kaleido’s official tasks.
Who Is Affected?
Student Impact
Students and children may receive prevention-oriented support through a clearer official service structure.
Parent / Family Impact
Parents may access prevention and family-support activities through a more formal Kaleido service basis.
School / Institution Impact
Schools may work with Kaleido under clearer prevention-service roles and responsibilities.
Teacher / Staff Impact
Teachers may have clearer referral and cooperation channels for prevention-related support.
Key Dates
- 2026-06-01: decree adopted and prevention-service changes legally confirmed.
What To Do
- Schools should review how Kaleido prevention services are organised and update referral or cooperation procedures where needed.
What To Watch Next
Kaleido may provide further operational information on prevention services, contact points and school cooperation.
Global Context
The change is relevant for student-support comparison because it moves prevention services from project-style operation into a formal service role.
