Sociaal Domein Flevoland

What Sociaal Domein Flevoland does

Sociaal Domein Flevoland is a publicly governed inter-municipal cooperation body (samenwerkingsverband) established in 2015 under a Centrumregeling between five Flevoland municipalities: Almere, Dronten, Lelystad, Noordoostpolder, and Urk. Headquartered in Almere, the entity coordinates regionally organized youth care under the Dutch Jeugdwet and Social Support (Wmo 2015) services on behalf of the participating municipalities. It does not deliver care directly; rather, it acts as the regional commissioning and framework-management node that contracts with care providers, defines referral and case-management processes, and standardizes product descriptions across seven parcels (Thuis Op Maat, Gezinsgericht wonen, Behandeld wonen, Crisis, Hoogspecialistische jeugd GGZ, Jeugdbescherming civiel, Jeugdreclassering strafrechtelijk).

The platform's core product surface consists of the Handelingskader (a Regional Action Framework), Thuis Op Maat (TOM) flexible care model, RET/Team AnderS (multidisciplinary expert team for complex cases), and the Beschikbaarheidswijzer (an availability-guide web platform and mobile app for referrers). Supporting workflows include an 8-step Verwijsproces, an Acceptatieplicht (acceptance obligation) for contracted providers, a Route Niet-Gecontracteerde Zorg pathway, Thematafels and Leertafels for collaborative learning, and the Flevo Academie Jeugd learning network with Windesheim University of Applied Sciences. Crisis care is operationally delivered through Triade Vitree (general crisis) and GGZ Centraal Fornhese (acute youth GGZ) under contracts effective from January 2025.

Funding is entirely public: municipal contributions and national transfers under Jeugdwet/Wmo; there is no commercial pricing model and no revenue from end-user fees. The entity operates with a small secretariat of approximately 17 staff, including named project leads for the upcoming Inkoop 2027 procurement cycle. Quantified outcomes include reduction in crisis-stay duration (from a 28-day baseline to a current ~21-day average, targeting 14 days by end of 2026) and reversal of Flevoland's historically elevated out-of-home placement rate following the 2022 launch of the Versnellingsaanpak. The technology stack is non-commercial (Matomo analytics, Laposta newsletter); there is no AI/ML capability, and digital infrastructure is centered on the Beschikbaarheidswijzer as the primary referrer-facing interface.
