What can you do if your child is not doing well at school?

School and partnership

First try to find a solution together with the school. If you cannot reach an agreement, you can contact the partnership under which the school falls.

Educational consultant

An educational consultant can be contacted if you cannot reach an agreement with the school. These are independent experts who can provide (free) advice in finding suitable education for the child.

Balance Advice Line for parents

Vereniging Balans offers a (free) advice line for parents. The advice line consists of experienced parents and/or professionals with a lot of knowledge when it comes to people sitting at home.

Regional initiatives

There are various initiatives for people sitting at home. This could be an initiative from education, such as a school for the gifted or an initiative from healthcare. In the Utrecht region, for example, there is STEQ, an intermediate facility for gifted children between the ages of 6 and 12 who do not go to school. And Handjehelpen, this foundation tries to help children sitting at home with friends in an accessible way. Click here for more stay-at-home initiatives in Utrecht.
