The Van Rijn Committee welcomes the fact that the entire public broadcaster is receiving a collective plan of action in response to the report on inappropriate behavior. The details will take shape later this month.
This is a plan that makes clear how the recommendations from the report will be implemented. The NPO says it will announce more about the planning at the end of February. This step can be linked to the recommendations from the report, says a spokesperson for the committee. “So it’s only a good thing that it happens.”
The implementation is now “in principle up to the NPO itself”. “But I think we will continue to follow this with interest,” continues the spokesperson for the commission, which will be dissolved at some point. “We hope that the public broadcasters will take the committee’s recommendations seriously and act on them.”
Mariëtte Hamer, the government commissioner for sexual misconduct and sexual violence, said against this on Saturday de Volkskrant that there should be “an independent committee of experts” to ensure that public broadcasters follow the recommendations of the Van Rijn committee. “If nothing happens now, we can produce such a report again in five years. And then we all say: gosh, nothing has changed,” Hamer said.
Martin van Rijn’s Research Committee on Broadcasting Conduct and Culture (OGCO) presented the report at the beginning of this month Nothing seen, nothing heard and nothing done | The lost responsibility. This revealed, among other things, that transgressive behavior is widespread within the national public broadcaster.
