There is a distinction between nursing, which focuses on personal care and physical assistance (sections 86 and 87) and social support, which focuses on emotional, social, and organizational help (section 88)

School patrol officers are typically linked to the school, but law enforcement is usually involved. Therefore, 842400 should be prioritized, as the police are primarily responsible, even if the school plays a coordinating role.

Use 842301 when the activity involves funding and administrative functions related to child protection. If the work is carried out by an association (e.g., Caritas) or involves psychological support and social services, classify it under 889909. The classification depends on whether the focus is on administration or direct support services.

If supervised homework is an ancillary activity at a school, classify it under 85, even if it's not held in the same building. If the activity is not managed by the municipality, use 889909.
