About us ##

Working for the Stadt Zürich. This means working with more than 30,000 people for the common good and the population of the largest city in Switzerland.

The Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutzbehörde (KESB) of the Stadt Zürich is, with around 110 employees, the largest German-speaking specialist authority in the field of child and adult protection. It is an independent and autonomous authority that is administratively assigned to the Sozialdepartement. The KESB orders child and adult protection measures and examines all related legal transactions.
