Conversation with safe at home

Questioner

Can I refuse a conversation with Safe at Home and Child Health and Ex? He abused me.

Lawyer

You may refuse, but this may sometimes have consequences that are unpleasant for you. However, this depends on whether or not Veilig Thuis and the CJG are very concerned about your situation. If they do and you do not cooperate in a conversation, an investigation by the Child Protection Board may be requested and possibly also started. If the Board believes that assistance in a voluntary framework (such as with the conversation you have been invited to) is not accepted or sufficient, a supervision order may be requested. It often does not get that far, but it may be wise to cooperate. If you would like to know more, you can contact us.
