These questions and many more were addressed during the two themed meetings ‘Supervision and Enforcement for Parent Committees’ held by the Belangenvereniging van Ouders in de Kinderopvang in 2021. Both meetings were presented by Sabine Beerbaum and Klaasje Wilbrink, advisers on Supervision and Enforcement in Childcare at the Association of Netherlands Municipalities (VNG).
