What You Don’t See – documentary

30 January 2017

The Municipality of Amsterdam has commissioned a documentary about boundary-crossing behavior among volunteers:What you don’t seeEven volunteers can cross sexual boundaries, especially when they develop a confidential bond with a child, participant, or client. The documentary features insights from five experts:

  • Jules Mulder, Stop it now
  • Peter Wijngaard, Vice Squad
  • Marjolein Leguijt, Sexual Violence Support Center
  • Cathelijne Coenen, Sportservice, Municipality of Amsterdam
  • Marijke Altenburg, Volunteer Center Amsterdam

And you can see how Volunteer Center Amsterdam trains volunteer coordinators on this topic.
