In the event of a Veilig Thuis report, it is appropriate to always engage in a conversation with Veilig Thuis, no matter how unjustified the report may feel. For more information about their working methods, visit veiligthuis.nl.
Tips:
- Get well informed about what the report is about. Try to discuss unexplained complaints that arise from Long COVID and/or areas where this has an effect. Explain what this looks like and what this does to your child.
- Always remain in conversation with the relevant agency that Veilig Thuis uses to investigate whether and what kind of help is appropriate. For example, a neighborhood team, youth worker or social worker. This is not there to work against you, but to jointly look at possibilities that can be helpful.
- You can at the BIVKZ right with questions. They represent the interests of parents and chronically, seriously ill or care-intensive children at VT Notifications in the Netherlands.
File formation Safe at Home:
Veilig Thuis is legally required to enter into a dialogue with the directly involved parties within 5 working days. If the suspicions are not correct and there are no concerns about safety (domestic violence or child abuse), the report is refuted and Veilig Thuis ends its involvement. There are then no further steps.
The reporter is informed whether or not the report will be processed. If Veilig Thuis itself talks to the family or household, Veilig Thuis always provides feedback to the reporter at the end of its involvement.
The file is retained unless an active request is made to destroy it. For subsequent reports, it is always checked whether a file already exists. If a file exists and the report has been refuted and no steps have been taken as a result, no further investigation will be conducted. A file is retained for 15 years.
