Meldcode VWS

The Meldcode App helps professionals with suspicions of domestic violence and / or child abuse. On the basis of 5 steps, professionals determine whether they should make a report to Veilig Thuis and whether sufficient help can be deployed.

This app contains the reporting code for the following professional clusters:

N.B. By working with the reporting code, the decision whether or not to report suspected domestic violence and / or child abuse remains with the professional. The step-by-step plan for the reporting code provides guidance in this assessment.
