Hoi Ardi,
Weet niet of je dit lees, laat zo ook nog even een bericht op je mobiel achter.

Dank voor item. Goede aandacht voor belangrijk onderwerp.

Mochten jullie gaan inkorten, vanmiddag DCI gesprek met Ombudsman is namens ‘volwassenen’ kinderrechten organisaties, niet namens de jongeren. Die dringen zelf aan op een gesprek met de ombudsman.

Met vriendelijke groet,
