Two innovations supporting the paradigm shift in Dutch multidisciplinary cross-sectoral collaboration - pilot study the CAST

After working at the renowned Verwey-Jonker Institute for 15 years, she chose to work as an independent and self employed social scientist. Suzanne‘s drive is to give people in a marginal position in society a voice and bring the difficulties they face in life to the attention of policy makers in charge through in-depth evaluative and narrative research. Her point of departure is the experiences and observations of people in their position as clients, users, inhabitants or citizens. Suzanne’s mode of working enables her to reach out to people who are - in policy terms – so called inaccessible target groups. Suzanne did research among (street) prostitutes, illegal immigrants, minor refugees, youth in juvenile institutions, incarceratedvmothers, young delinquents and homeless people. Suzanne has become increasingly specialized in the field of domestic violence and child abuse.

After a research project on safety issues in women’s shelters Suzanne and colleagues developed an instrument for screening safety risks in women’s shelters, now used throughout The Netherlands.
