EYP the Netherlands is run by volunteers, who have participated in conferences in the past and continued their EYP journey as facilitators and organisers.

Safe Team
The safety, dignity and wellbeing of participants and volunteers at our events are guarded by the Event Safe Persons (ESP, vertrouwenspersonen), who are supervised by a National Safe Person (NSP).
Contacting an ESP or the NSP will be treated with confidentiality. Private information will not be shared with anyone, unless once agreed upon with the person in question.
National Safe Person
The National Safe Person (NSP, vertrouwenspersoon) is responsible for ensuring that the safety and wellbeing of those involved with EYP NL in any capacity is upheld.
The NSP is available for questions, concerns, and reports of harmful behaviour from everyone involved with EYP NL. They also support the Board of EYP NL when it comes to policies related to welfare.
Event Safe Persons
During events of EYP NL, two Event Safe Persons (ESP, vertrouwenspersoon) will be present, to whom you can go when you feel there is a matter of concern regarding your own or someone else’s safety or wellbeing. If you do not feel comfortable reporting an issue to an ESP, or if there is a matter you want to discuss when not at an event, you can always contact the National Safe Person.
The Event Safe Persons for the 2022-2023 season will be selected in September 2022.
