Document the concern in writing, noting what was observed, by whom, and when.
Submit it to the Safeguarding Lead by email as soon as possible.
Not investigate independently.
Where there is reasonable cause to suspect significant harm, Stichting PHRC will refer the matter to the appropriate Dutch authorities (Veilig Thuis) or relevant local authorities.
