Handreiking External Accountability
When, about what and on whose behalf you should answer as an organisation is sometimes challenging to decide. To help organisations with these considerations, the Handreiking Externe Verantwoording (in Dutch) has been created, which addresses both retrospective annual reporting and any interim reports.
Roadmap Screening
The Roadmap Screening (in Dutch) helps organisations tighten the Screening Process on the Integrity of future (and current) employees/volunteers. The Roadmap supports the sector as a whole to arrive at a more standard and uniform policy about the Integrity Screening process of future (and current) employees/volunteers to improve the quality of this process and to create a strong preventive effect.
VOG and industry-specific reference check
The current Certification of Good Conduct (VOG in Dutch) has been expanded to include a sector-specific reference check for our sector. This reference check maps out which positions specifically require attention in relation to integrity issues. Realising a sector-wide VOG, one of the intentions in the Joint Integrity Action Plan, was not yet feasible. The sector-specific reference check has been developed by Partos and Charities Netherlands in collaboration with COVOG (Centraal Orgaan Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag) to meet this wish partially. Read the note on advice on VOG (in Dutch) with the sector-specific reference check here.
Handbook of (care) measures for victims
There is a basic Guide of (care) measures for victims of sexual transgressive behaviour (in Dutch). Every organisation can use this handle to further concrete its (care) measures for victims in its own operational work processes.
Instrument classification and triage of reports
Oxfam Novib has guidelines (partly Dutch, partly English) and an instrument of classification (in English) and triage developed to estimate the severity of a report with the appropriate organisations can use the tool with accompanying explanations. In most cases, some modifications will be necessary to tailor it completely.
