CCP
Our Confidential Contact Persons
The Confidential Contact Persons of T.S.V.V. Gepidae are Maud Buster and Sven Kruisbergen.
Maud and Sven have completed training to act as Confidential Contact Persons. They are there to listen to you and can help you determine what possible next steps you could take.
What can you contact a VCP about?
You can contact a VCP if you experience, within or around the association, for example:
• Inappropriate or other forms of unacceptable behaviour;
• Bullying or exclusion, within or outside your team;
• Sexual harassment or other sexually inappropriate behaviour;
• Discrimination;
•Situations that make you feel unsafe or uncomfortable within the association.
These are only examples. Even if your situation does not exactly fit one of these categories, you are still welcome to contact a VCP.
How does it work?
Would you like to talk to a VCP?Send an email to Maud Buster: vcp1gepidae@gmail.com or Sven Kruisbergen: vcp2gepidae@gmail.com. The VCP will then contact you. If you would like to, you can arrange a meeting to talk about your situation.
During a conversation, the VCP will listen to your story and discuss with you what you couldpotentially do. The VCP can provide information about possible next steps and, if necessary or desired, refer you to an appropriate organization or professional.
A VCP is not a mediator and does not investigate the situation by, for example, hearing both sides of the story. Their primary role is to listen to you, think along with you and support you.
Confidentiality
What you discuss with a VCP will, in principle, be treated confidentially. The VCP will not share your story with the board, other VCPs or other members of the association without discussing this with you first.
In some situations, it may be necessary to take further action or involve someone else. If this is the case, this will first be discussed with you and, where possible, you will be involved in deciding on an appropriate next step.
For example, a VCP may refer you to an external confidential contact person, a ConfidentialContact Person at a higher organizational level, or another organization that can provide further support.
Not sure whether your situation is something you can discuss with a VCP? Please feel fee to reach out. You do not need to solve the problem yourself or know exactly what the right next step is.
