A national registration system for youth assistance

ABSTRACT The SRJV (Registration Foundation of Youth Facilities) is a national Dutch organisation that is responsible for setting up a national registration system for youth services. The main objective of the foundation is to generate information for government policy and management information for the involved organisations. To gain better insight into this territory, it is essential to have knowledge of a number of developments within youth assistance in the Netherlands. This will be in line with the new law on youth assistance, which has been effective since the middle of 1989. The previous history and the development of the registration system will be discussed. Attention will also be given to the actual structure of the system. A look into the future will conclude this article.
