PPSI was founded in 1992 by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, to support schools in battling sexual harassment within the school environment (primary school - higher education).

PPSI was assigned to the APS Netherlands, a non-governmental not-for-profit educational organization. As a result of new legislation in 1998, PPSI also focuses on a wider range of undesired behavioural patterns, such as homosexual harassment, bullying, racism and violence.

Over the years, PPSI developed a wide range of products and practical services:

• Manuals for personal integrity counsellors.
• Compilation and distribution of information and  ‘good practices’ in the field of school safety through the website: www.ppsi.nl.
• Counselling for school boards and school administrators.
• Meetings for personal integrity counsellors.

PPSI is considered to be the Dutch expert on battling harassment in the school situation.

PPSI is working together with:

• Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.
• School inspectors.
• Representatives of nationwide organisations of school boards, unions for school administrators, teacher unions and unions for parents.
• The Dutch Association of Student Counselling (NVL).
• The National Association of Personal Integrity Counsellors (LVV).
