Voorstel van wet van het lid Arib tot instelling van een Kinderombudsman

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a private member's bill introduced in the Dutch House of Representatives by MP Arib. It proposes creating an independent Children's Ombudsman (Kinderombudsman), an official who would monitor how government and public bodies treat children and examine complaints about children's rights. Such an office would give children and their advocates a dedicated point of contact outside ordinary government channels. If adopted, the bill would primarily affect children under 18 in the Netherlands, along with the public authorities whose decisions concern them, such as schools, youth care and local government. The exact powers and structure would be set out in the bill's text, which this summary does not cover.
