Partnering for Change in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands an innovative and intersectoral collaboration approach called the Partnering for Change (P4C) is used. A new model in the Dutch school context has been tried out in several pilot studies, adapted to the Dutch educational context and evaluated. Currently is in the implementation phase looking at P4C effects on teachers' capacity building and development, on pupil's engagement, health and participation. Furthermore, its cost-effectiveness will be evaluated.
The purpose of P4C in the Netherlands is:
- To increase pupils' prerequisites for school participation and learning, sense of belonging and inclusion in order to prevent mental ill-health, exclusion and school failure by creating an inclusive learning environments using P4C.
- To build and develop capacity among teachers, P4C- occupational therapists, special education teachers and managers to be able to serve diversity of children and co-design an inclusive learning environments, via the network JIP4L- NL.
- To estimate the cost-effectiveness of P4C, taking into account the cost of the intervention and potential savings in relation to health gains for pupils as well as pupils' school attendance and educational achievements.

School participatie (meedoen) gaat over de mate waarten leerkenn kunnen meedoen met activiteiten op school die van belang zijn voor hun ontwikkeling, maar ook over gelijke kansen voor leren, spelen, gezond eten en bewegen. The meedoen in deze activiteiten has a clear relationship with erbij horen en positivé gezondheid. Kinderen met een sociale achterstand, restriction, unrust, taalachterstand, attentionsprobleem or anderzijds hebben maiete met schoolse activiteiten; zij lopen het risico niet mee te komen en zich minder partende van de groep te voelen. The mate van diversity in the class op the basic school is grown en leerkrachten in en buiten Parkstad leten clearen merken dat ze tekort aan kennis en kunde hebben om te spelen op de presentenen diversity van kinderen. Hot can a moet anders! Terecht dat attention begewad wordt voor het inspelen op individuelle differenkel van kinderen. However, this attention does not have to mean that there is always an individual approach needed if school participation of children is to be promoted.
What is Partnering4Change (P4C)?
Partnering for Change Model , abbreviated P4C, is in Canada ontwiektd en investigated. Since 2013, P4C has been developed in the Parkstad region (Nederland). P4C is gericht op (a) support van de leerkracht binnen de klas door een ergotherapeut, (b) 'empowerment' van leerkrachten en ouders en (c) het adsenningen van de fysieke en sociale omgeving op school (Missiuna, Pollock, Levac, Campbell, Whalen, Bennett et al., 2012, Meuser et al., 2023). P4C bids handvatten voor de leerkrachten, ergotherapeuten en ouders en zoekt naar solutions op schoolniveau, classniveau en individual niveau met intensieve involvement van alle partieten.
The process of the culturally based adaptation of an integrated, collaborative P4C approach for the Dutch context was carried out on the basis of the framework of Barrera & Castro (2006) in five large steps starting in 2013. Deze tijdlijn shows the detailed steps.
