The Introduction Assessment was developed in response to the 2021 report Unprecedented Injustice about the childcare allowance affair. The idea behind the Introduction Assessment is that issues arising from new regulations (in implementation or among the target group) should be identified, addressed, and resolved as early as possible to prevent a second childcare allowance affair. The Introduction Assessment requires the government to actively investigate how the regulations work in practice after they come into effect.
In this study commissioned by the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC), we examine how Introduction Assessments are currently carried out by various organisations within the Dutch government and what lessons can be learned to further develop the tool.
