It is estimated that between 40 and 80 children die of the consequences. The Dutch Government finds it unacceptable that so many young people experience violence in their home situation. Because of the serious effects of child abuse, the Dutch government focuses on the prevention and early recognition and halting of child abuse. This report describes the national and regional strategies in policy and practice in addressing child abuse in the Netherlands. The Netherlands Youth Institute has been granted a two-year project (2011 – 2012) in the framework of the Daphne III programme: prevent and combat violence against children, young people and women and to protect victims and groups at risk.
