The Local Chamber is a collaborative effort. The following organizations are part of it:  

  • Municipality of Wassenaar;  
  • Wassenaar Social Team; 
  • Compulsory Education Officer 
  • Police;  
  • Youth Protection West; 
  • Youth Protection William Schrikker;

The working method of the Local Chamber aims to provide residents of the municipality of Wassenaar with concrete assistance in the area of Health and Safety. These are mainly situations where quick and adequate action is needed to prevent further escalation. In order to prevent escalation, the participants of the Local Chamber make a plan of action to help someone with problems. 

How does the Local Chamber work?

Sometimes a person has problems in many different areas. Then it is necessary to work together with several organizations from different areas to help this person move forward.

Any member organization can submit a notification that meets certain Requirements. The municipality assesses whether the notification is suitable for discussion in the Local Chamber and arranges a consultation with the organizations that can contribute to solving the problem.

Plan of action  

During the consultation, a plan of action is developed that we use to help the resident. The plan has one or more of the following goals:  

  • reducing and preventing criminal offenses; 
  • Reducing, preventing and reducing the recurrence of criminal offenses and nuisances; 
  • offering regular help; 
  • Strengthen the self-reliance of the individual; 
  • providing appropriate Health;  
  • achieving a person-centered approach for the individual and, if necessary, an approach for the family; 
  • strengthening chain direction and chain cooperation.  

Health and Safety House Haaglanden 

Each municipality in the Haaglanden region has its own Local Chamber. Municipalities set these up with their own local partners. All Local Chambers cooperate with theHealth and Safety House Haaglanden. Each Local Chamber can report a case to the Health and Safety House. For example, if a special approach is needed. Or if the problems also occur in other municipalities. This option is only chosen if it is assessed that the stated goals are not being achieved at the local level.

Privacy  

The Local Chamber considers it very important that the privacy of the residents involved is guaranteed. The privacy protocol we have drawn up states how we handle personal information. When a report is made about someone, we inform that person about it through a letter. An affected resident also has several rights in this situation. These are all listed in the privacy statement.
