Training and advice on safety

Do you need advice to make your organization safer for children and young people? As an Amsterdam-based organization, you have come to the right place. We regularly offer trainings and workshops on this topic. Think of workshops on conducting an introductory meeting, where the topic of safety also plays a role. Or the workshop on giving feedback regarding transgressive behavior. For individual advice, contact Nettie Sterrenburg.

Suspicions?

If you have concrete suspicions that something is not right, please contact one of our advisors.
Or one of the other organizations in Amsterdam working in this field.
