Regiecentrum Bescherming en Veiligheid

What Regiecentrum Bescherming en Veiligheid does

Regiecentrum Bescherming en Veiligheid is a Dutch non-profit organization headquartered in Leeuwarden, Friesland, that delivers statutory child, youth, and adult protection services across the province of Friesland (including the Waddeneilanden excluding Texel). The organization operates through three integrated divisions: Veilig Thuis Friesland, the regional 24/7 advice and reporting center for domestic violence, child abuse, and elder abuse; Jeugd- en Gezinsbescherming, which executes court-ordered youth protection measures (ondertoezichtstelling, voogdij) and youth rehabilitation (jeugdreclassering); and the Expertisecentrum Bescherming en Veiligheid, a knowledge-sharing arm that sells SKJ-accredited training, psychodiagnostic assessments, and staff detachment to municipal gebiedsteams, healthcare providers, schools, and general practices. The technology stack is operationally focused: Bastion 365 for GDPR-compliant secure email with clients, the Spiekr platform for e-learning delivery, and Google Analytics on the public website; there is no proprietary AI/ML or platform technology.

The business model is overwhelmingly subsidy-driven, with Friesland municipalities and the Dutch national government (via Sociaal Domein Fryslân) funding the statutory mandates through multi-year contracts such as the 2020-2027 Spoed4Jeugd consortium agreement, the "Handen op elkaar voor onze jeugd" convenant, and direct gebiedsteam commissioning. A smaller but diversified professional-services revenue stream runs through the Expertisecentrum: open-enrollment and in-company SKJ-accredited courses priced at €20-€2,334 per cohort, independent psychodiagnostic research by registered behavioral scientists, and detachment of behavioral scientists and youth-care workers (including as POH-GGZ to general practices). Pricing is pay-as-you-go or fixed-fee per cohort; no subscription or SaaS model applies. Approximately 300 staff work across the three divisions, with a disclosed employee satisfaction of 7.7 (0.9 points above sector average), and the organization is governed by a two-person Raad van Bestuur chaired by Marianne Sinot with a five-person Raad van Toezicht. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no equity funding, M&A, or geographic expansion beyond Friesland is indicated.
