CONFIDENTIAL CONTACT PERSON

  

At ACLO we believe it is important to provide a safe sports environment in which everyone feels at home. Together we do everything we can to prevent inappropriate behavior such as bullying, conflicts and arguments, discrimination and sexual harassment within our foundation in order to ensure a safe sporting environment. That is why the ACLO has appointed two confidential contact persons. They act as a central point of contact to ensure that the way we interact with each other is respectful and safe. These contact persons are not responsible for resolving the incident, but for providing a listening ear and advising on next steps.


At ACLO, we believe it is important to provide a safe sports environment where everyone feels welcome and at home. Together, we do everything we can to prevent inappropriate or unacceptable behavior, such as bullying, conflicts, discrimination and sexual harassment, and to create a safe and positive sporting environment. That is why ACLO has appointed two Confidential Contact Persons. They serve as a central point of contact and help ensure that everyone is treated with respect and feels safe within ACLO. The Confidential Contact Persons are not responsible for resolving an incident themselves. Instead, they are there to listen, offer support and provide advice on possible next steps.

Contact information

The ACLO's confidential contact persons are Myrthe Houtsma (former member of the ACLO Executive Board) and Arne Römgens (former member of the Executive Board). An appointment for a (telephone) conversation with the confidential contact persons can be made via the following email address: vcp@aclosport.nl. In this email, you can indicate whether you have a preference for an appointment with Myrthe or Arne.

If you feel the need to connect with people outside the ACLO, you can always turn to the Center for Safe Sports Netherlands. 

Myrthe Houtsma

I am Myrthe and I am one of the two confidential contact persons at the ACLO. I have been active within Veracles (student volleyball association) since the beginning of my student days. Additionally, I served as the internal coordinator of the ACLO Executive Board from 2024 to 2025. I believe that playing sports during your student years is not only important, but above all great fun — whether you do it alone or with others. It is essential that you feel safe and comfortable within the sports environment, and I am happy to contribute to this.

You can come to me for a listening ear. Together, we can look at possible next steps, if necessary. This ensures that sports remain accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Would you like to contact one of the confidential contact persons? Then send an email to vcp@aclosport.nl. You can always come to us with questions, and we are happy to schedule an appointment — in person, online, or by phone. We are here to help!
