Cabinet
Government focuses on better support for youth with complex issues and reducing one-on-one placements
Minister Sterk, Staatssecretaris Van Bruggen, and Staatssecretaris Tielen announced additional steps to improve care for youth with complex problematics and reduce one-on-one placements. The cabinet allocates €77 million for 2026–2028 to help youth regions develop suitable local alternatives, while €20 million is reserved for national coordination and quality standards. This initiative aims to phase out closed youth care where possible, ensuring strict legal frameworks and rights protection remain in place for necessary restrictive measures.
