MULTIsignaal

MULTIsignaal provides a Reference Index for professionals working with youth to nearly 300 municipalities in the Netherlands.

Approximately 15% of the youth are in the care of professionals, who support them from an educational, health-care or safety perspective. In the past, the care youngsters received, turned out to be less than adequate due to lack of collaboration between these multiple professionals. The Reference Index ensures that professionals working with youngsters can indicate their involvement and are able to contact each other in case of a common client or a family match.

Users can register youth in their care in the Reference Index via the MULTIsignaal internet application, via the App or via a link to a source system. They receive a match notification if a young person is in the care of multiple professionals or if there is an address or family match. The local Reference Index of MULTIsignaal is linked to the national Reference Index. A unified plan is drawn up in consultation with the parties involved and with the interest of the young person at heart.

MULTIsignaal was established as a result of the cooperation between the municipalities of Rotterdam, Almere and Leeuwarden. By now, nearly 300 municipalities are members of the MULTIsignaal user association (GVMS). This gives them a say in the further development of the Reference Index and the municipalities collaborate to stimulate its use. This involvement and the shared investment ensures that quality is guaranteed and that the costs are kept low.                                                                                                             

MULTIsignaal provides the technical application management, functional management, organises meetings and supports municipalities in their efforts to stimulate the use of the Reference Index, for example via the website www.verwijsindex.tv
