Seminars for staff councils from public administration recognised by the Federal Agency for Civic Education as suitable for educational leave

Description

Staff council members from the public administration are entitled to educational leave for training and educational events according to the Federal Staff Representation Act if the Federal Agency for Civic Education (BpB) recognises your educational event as suitable.
For recognition by the BpB, your educational event should focus on one of the following topics, for example:

  • Service and labour law
  • Social law
  • Personnel planning
  • Assembly practice

If staff council members are released from work for your training event, this can have a positive effect on the number of participants.
The recognition of the BpB refers exclusively to the educational event itself, not to you as an educational institution in general.


In order for your training event to be recognised as suitable, it must meet the following requirements:

  • It must be useful in terms of its content and programme for a staff council activity. In other words, it must contribute to the participants being able to carry out their tasks in the staff council in an appropriate and professional manner.

Your educational event cannot be recognized if it deals with topics that are

  • party-political
  • trade union or
  • have an ecclesiastical character or
  • are not tailored to the work in the staff council.

  • Cover letter with
    • Name and address of the responsible educational institution
    • Indication of the legal basis on which you are relying
  • Program of the event, for example seminar or travel program with
    • Overview of the contents imparted
    • Time schedule
    • Date and
    • Meeting place or destination

There are no costs for you.

If possible, you should apply for recognition 6 weeks before the start of the training measure.

It usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to process your application.

You can lodge an appeal against the rejection notice with the Federal Agency for Civic Education within 1 month.
