Frequently asked questions
What is the Partnership's working method?
When the Partnership receives an application for an admissibility statement for a form of special (primary) education for a child, it ensures that an expert opinion is provided, which will serve as the starting point for whether or not to issue an admissibility statement.
The procedure is described here by the Partnership.
For primary education: swvamsterdamdiemen.nl and for secondary education: swvadam.nl.

What is the Partnership?
To ensure appropriate education for all students, schools work together in an appropriate education partnership. Together, they create a support plan.
