Youth support programmes for young people (from 01-01-2018)

This file brings together the pathways for youth assistance, which have been delivered to CBS by all providers of youth assistance, as part of the Youth Policy Information. These deliveries within the framework of the Youth Policy Information are legally required and result from the Youth Act.The use of this file does not require permission from the external data provider. More information on how to access the data: > https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/onze-diensten/maatwerk-en-microdata/microdata-zelf-onderzoek-doen ### Methodology The providers of youth assistance are asked twice a year to provide data to CBS over the past six months. In addition, in addition to the last six months, it is also possible for them to provide data for the six-month period (re-delivery). Due to this system in the delivery of source data and by the chosen publication strategy (2x a year), this file will always have multiple versions. The first version of this file always contains only the first half of the year t and will always consist of preliminary figures. After all, in the second half of the year under review, there may be re-deliveries for this first half of the year. In a subsequent version, normally the second version, this file contains the entire reporting year t. This version will consist of the first half of the year (whether or not with re-deliveries) and the second half together. The first six months in this stock can be regarded as further provisional, because any re-deliveries during this period are included. The first half of the year has also been adjusted to the second half of the year, if necessary (e.g. by failing to fill in the start date or end date). The second half of the year in this version can be regarded as preliminary figures. After all, it is the first time that these data have been supplied.Only with the first half of the reporting year t + 1, re-deliveries are possible for the second half of the reporting year t.That ensures the last version of this file, normally the third version.In this version, the re-deliveries of the second half of the year are processed. This is the six-month final. The first half of the year has also been adjusted (again) to the second half of the year. This also makes the first half of the year definitive. Due to the complexity of the versions, the type of reporting period is not unambiguous. In the end, the year under review is envisaged. ### Population Persons who, during (part of) the reporting periods, have been provided with one or more forms of assistance or care under the Youth Act, with the exception of youth protection and youth probation. As a rule, these are people aged up to 18 years, but in certain cases people up to 23 years can also receive help or care. In almost all cases, these are only persons who have been registered in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) at any time during the reporting period.Trajects on youth protection and youth probation are included in separate files: JGDBESCHERM and JGDRECLAS.
