In Integrated Supervision of Youth Affairs (in Dutch: Integraal
Toezicht Jeugdzaken, ITJ) five government inspectorates work together.
The inspectorates that work together are: the Health Care Inspectorate, the Inspectorate of Education, the Inspectorate for Youth Care, the Inspectorate of Security and Justice and the Inspectorate SZW. State Secretary for Health, Welfare and Sport is the responsible State Secretary.
In our supervision, the focus is on the child and our basis is the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We concentrate on the problems young people have, face and create. Examples of these problems are child abuse, obesity, youth criminality, addiction and poverty. We examine how the various youth services involved cooperate to solve these problems and, even better, to prevent them.
This also applies to the Youth and Family Centres, which have been or are being set up in every municipality. These centres comprise
various services and organizations that are aimed at parents, children
and young people. Everyone can visit the centres for anything concerning growing up and upbringing. We not only examine the cooperation within a Youth and Family Centre but also the cooperation of the Youth and Family Centre with youth services that are not represented within the centre.
