Confidant
If you'd like to talk to someone about something that made you feel uncomfortable, or if there's something you'd rather not discuss directly with the people involved, the GSAC, through the ACLO and NSAC, has confidants available. If you don't feel like having a full conversation, you can reach out to Centrum Veilige Sport Nederland. With them, you can chat or call.
GSAC
Hello! My name is Noa Giljam and I am a confidential contact person of GSAC. This is my second year with GSAC, but I have already been climbing for 6 years on and off. Next to this, I study psychology at the RUG.
If you’ve seen or experienced anything unpleasant, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m there for you if you want to talk about it and/or if you want to look together at what’s best to do next, no matter how big or small the situation is.
Email: vcp@gsac.nl
Telefoonnummer: +31 6 44377247
ACLO
The ACLO’s confidential contact persons are Paolo Bakker (former Board member of The Knickerbockers) and Velda Tjalma (former General Board member). An appointment for a (telephone) conversation with the confidential contact persons can be made via vcp@aclosport.nl. In the mail you can indicate whether you prefer an appointment with Paolo or with Velda.
Paolo (+31 6 37403007) and Velda (+31 687381764) can also be contacted by telephone. They will call you back as soon as possible in the event of a missed call. If you need contact with people from outside the ACLO, you can always contact the Centrum Veilige Sport Nederland.
For more information about Paolo and Velda you can take a look at https://www.aclosport.nl/en/about-aclo/confidential-contact-person/
NSAC
The confidant for the NSAC is Diede, here's his introduction.
Hi! In the coming period, I, Diede, will be your confidant for all NSAC activities. I've been involved in the SAC world for a few years now, and in 2018-19, I served as the ZP Commissioner. I practice climbing in the broadest sense, as long as it's not in winter!
If you experience something unpleasant or see something that's not right, I'm here for you to listen and help find a suitable solution together. This way, we ensure that no one is left feeling uncomfortable and that everyone feels welcome and safe at the NSAC.
You can reach Diede at diede-vcp@nsac.alpenclub.nl.

Hi! I’m Parel, and together with Diede, I am one of the confidential contact persons of the NSAC. Since 2020, I have been active at the GSAC, where I was also part of the board for a year.
You can reach out to me if you have experienced (or witnessed) something unpleasant and want to discuss how to handle it best. Even if you just want to share your story without necessarily looking for a solution, you are always welcome to send an email. I hope that in this way, we can make the NSAC a sports environment where everyone feels welcome.
