← 🇳🇱 Tweede Kamer/WETGEVING0ef59361-da5d-459c-a51d-a89f9da5d2ec

Wijziging van diverse wetten in verband met de invoering van de verplichting voor bepaalde instanties waar professionals werken en voor bepaalde zelfstandige professionals om te beschikken over een meldcode voor huiselijk geweld en kindermishandeling en de kennis en het gebruik daarvan te bevorderen, onderscheidenlijk die meldcode te hanteren (verplichte meldcode huiselijk geweld en kindermishandeling)

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This Dutch bill would require certain organisations where professionals work, and certain self-employed professionals, to have a reporting code for domestic violence and child abuse and to apply it. The aim is to make professionals better at recognising signs of abuse, to promote knowledge of the code, and to ensure it is used consistently. The bill amends several existing Dutch laws to bring this into effect. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text. Professionals working in affected organisations, such as healthcare, education, and social services, and certain self-employed professionals would be covered by the obligation. Organisations would need to adopt and use the reporting code, and people experiencing or witnessing abuse could be indirectly affected through more structured responses.
