152 CHAPTER 5 Learning Local Monitor Solid Start In 2021, the RIVM started providing support to municipalities in setting up local monitoring, as several of them expressed a need for such support. The support program aims to encourage local coalitions to utilize monitoring as a tool to enhance and refine their local approach. Key elements of the program include the establishment of a learning community that fosters mutual learning among stakeholders (both within and between local coalitions) and encourage the sharing of best practices. Eleven representatives from local coalitions participate in regular learning sessions. They were already engaged in monitoring Solid Start at the local level before or in the early stages of the national program. This group inspires each other by sharing their experiences and best practices. They also discuss challenges and needs for support in local monitoring. Examples include ‘what is vulnerability?’ and ‘how to monitor the collaboration between the medical and social domain?’ These themes are elaborated upon in thematic meetings that are accessible to a broader audience of other municipalities and professionals. The representatives considered the development of a suitable indicator set the essential first step to stimulate monitoring on a local level. In a previous paper, we have described our approach in developing an indicator set to monitor the Solid Start program in Dutch local coalitions and we presented this indicator set (5). These local indicators are quantified and presented to all municipalities in the Netherlands at www.regiobeeld.nl/kansrijkestart. In the future, this website will be further refined with additional indicators and new functionalities. References 1. RIVM.
