API - Integrity Point of Contact

API stands for Integrity Point of Contact. It can happen that you experience something you don't like, where someone crosses your boundaries. We call this transgressive behavior. This can be physical (e.g. aggression) but also psychological (e.g. insulting) or sexual (e.g. touching you). It also includes bullying. All events and behaviors that are not okay at all. That's why we think it's important that you can talk to someone about such things. Even if you see or hear that something is happening to someone else, we think you should have somewhere to turn.

What does an API do?

An API will first and foremost listen to your story. Then the API will see where and how to help address the problem. The API has a duty of discretion, meaning that what you say remains confidential as much as possible. Sometimes the API has no choice but to call for additional help, but they will always inform you of this.

Who can contact the API?

Everyone. The children, teenagers and young people who participate in our projects, the supervisors of our projects and parents of participants, ... Can I also contact the supervisors of our projects? Sure. If you are struggling with something, our staff and supervisors are ready to help you. So don't hesitate to contact them. The API is there as extra help.
