What William Schrikker does

William Schrikker Jeugdbescherming & Jeugdreclassering (JB&JR) is a Dutch Stichting (foundation) headquartered in Amsterdam, founded in 1922 and operating as an ANBI-certified Public Benefit Institution. It is a gecertificeerde instelling authorized under Dutch law to execute court-ordered youth protection and rehabilitation measures, and is part of the Partners voor Jeugd collaborative network alongside William Schrikker Gezinsvormen, De Jeugd- & Gezinsbeschermers, and expertise center Expect Jeugd. The organization employs 1,001–5,000 staff under the CAO Jeugdzorg collective labor agreement and serves children and youth aged 0–23, parents and families (including those with mild intellectual disabilities / LVB), Dutch municipalities as commissioning bodies, and care professionals across the Netherlands.

Its service portfolio is built around two statutory pillars: Jeugdbescherming (Youth Protection), comprising Ondertoezichtstelling (OTS) supervision, Uithuisplaatsing (UHP) out-of-home placement, and Voogdij (guardianship); and Jeugdreclassering (Youth Rehabilitation), covering court-ordered rehabilitation measures for youth aged 12–23 who have committed offenses or are at risk. Specialized programs include Veilige Start (preventive support for expectant parents with LVB), KansRIJK (neighborhood-level early intervention against risky and criminal behavior, delivered via a national consortium of certified institutions), Intensieve begeleiding Harde Kern, Gedragsbeïnvloedende maatregel, the Scholings- en trainingsprogramma (STP), and the "7 Ankers van Jeugdreclassering" methodology. A Preventie & Consultatie advisory line serves municipalities. The technical footprint is human-delivered services with no proprietary software, APIs, AI, or app products; technology stack is non-applicable for a labor-intensive statutory care provider.

Revenue is derived primarily from government-commissioned contracts under the Dutch Jeugdwet (Youth Act), with municipalities acting as the sole statutory buyer category at government-set rates. Supplementary income comes from charitable funds (notably Nationaal Fonds Kinderhulp, via membership in Instituut Fondsenwerving) covering client material needs such as clothing, school supplies, sports lessons, and home furnishings. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, board compensation is regulated under WNT, and the go-to-market is sales-led through municipal commissioning, court-ordered referrals, and multi-agency referrals from district teams, Veilig Thuis, schools, and police. There is no venture, growth equity, or public-market financing in the capital structure.
