Sociaal Wijkteam (SWT) (care in your neighbourhood)
Every neighbourhood has what we call a ‘sociaal wijkteam’. This is a group of care-professionals in your neighbourhood. They can help you with problems when you are sick.
Do you want help with problems? First go to STIP. When you need more help, they can send you to the sociaal wijkteam for more help.

The municipality in your neighbourhood
People from the municipality are also working for your neighbourhood. Together with the people living in the neighbourhood they make the surroundings safe and liveable. Together with the people they improve play gardens, roads and parks. They also help to solve problems with teenagers on the street. When you have a problem or a good idea for your neighbourhood, you can contact the district manager.

Wijkagenten (local police)
Every part of the city has one or more police officers. They serve the neighbourhood. They walk around in the neighbourhood and solve small problems. In case of big emergencies with direct danger, always call 112. When there is a small problem in your neighbourhood, you can talk to the ‘wijkagent’. They are there to help you.
