Check a BIG registration

To check a BIG registration, a (potential) employee is asked to enter his or her BIG number in their personal online account. Validata then digitally checks whether this number appears in the BIG register., It will also bechecked if the number has not expired. As an extra check, Validata can request and provide proof of registration in the BIG register.

BIG register and measures imposed

If a (potential) employee has had measures imposed by a disciplinary committee or by the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate (IGJ) while performing a job, this willbe disclosed in the BIG registration check.

Depending on the cause, different measures can be imposed, each with different consequences:

A profession-restricting order or order to immediately abstain from professional activities are the most severe measures, they restrict the care provider in the practice of the profession.
In addition, there are less severe measures such as a reprimand, fine, or suspension.
A denial of the right to be re-registered and a cancellation both relate to registration in the BIG register.

The most severe measures are always made public. In the case of less severe measures, a disciplinary judge decides whether the privacy interest of the care provider should give way to the general interest of the public.

The BIG register shares information about professional restrictive measures imposed in the Netherlands with other EU countries and vice versa.
