Spokesperson

At Mores, we are regularly asked to respond when transgressive behavior is in the media. These questions are usually about specific organizations and individuals. Since we do not know all the facts at that time and it is not our expertise to investigate them, we are reluctant to comment on these incidents. After all, media speculation can unfairly cause (more) damage to people or organizations. At the same time, we also don't want to keep quiet about transgressive behavior. At Mores, of course, we do - and are increasingly - aware of the risks, consequences and scope of transgressive behavior in the sector. So we're more likely to respond from that perspective.

Because we still regularly encounter misunderstandings about our role, we share a number of considerations on our website that play a role.

Confidentiality within Mores
Anyone who contacts a Mores counselor can count on the confidentiality of the conversation. The identity of the people who talk to a counselor is also not shared with Mores's office or board. So if someone makes it public that they have contacted Mores, we cannot confirm that. Not either off the record.

No finding of the truth
Confidential counselors always hear only one side of the story, namely that of the person they are talking to. They are aware of that. Confidential counselors do not mediate, find the truth or hear adversaries. This means that the counselor never has the entire has a picture of a situation. Mores' office also does not investigate incidents and is therefore unable to assess them. Of course, we can provide a general explanation, based on the studies into transgressive behavior that have been done inside and outside the sector.

Support and advice point
Mores is a support and advice point for transgressive behavior. When founded in 2018, Mores was referred to as a “hotline”, but that term caused confusion. Hotline suggests that you can file a kind of 'report' with Mores and that we will then get to work with it. The core of the work of trust, on the other hand, is to receive people who are affected by transgressive behavior and to support them in the steps they take. yourselves want and be able to take.
