Gyeonggi-do to Inspect 'Vulnerable Household Detection and Support System' Ahead of Lunar New Year

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will conduct on-site inspections of the welfare blind spot detection and support system targeting 31 cities and counties within the province until the 23rd, ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

This inspection is part of follow-up measures following the province's formation of the 'Crisis Citizen Detection Support Policy Task Force (TF).' It reflects the province's determination to make every effort to prevent the recurrence of tragedies in welfare blind spots, such as the recent consecutive deaths of entire families.

The inspection will be jointly conducted by five departments within the provincial welfare bureau.

The main inspection items include ▲whether each city and county operates a system and task force for detecting and supporting welfare blind spots ▲confirmation of support plan progress for vulnerable groups ▲and the status of city and county publicity efforts to raise community awareness.

Through this inspection, the province plans to immediately implement on-site corrective actions for any deficiencies found in each city and county, directly identify inconveniences experienced by residents, and improve the system so that an active welfare blind spot crisis household detection system tailored to local circumstances can operate smoothly.

Lee Byung-woo, Director of the Provincial Welfare Bureau, stated, "We will enhance the completeness of support policies that can eliminate welfare blind spots through this on-site inspection of the crisis household detection support system in cities and counties."

Meanwhile, residents who discover local community members in crisis or experiencing difficulties can call the Gyeonggi Province Call Center (031-120) or their local eup/myeon/dong community service center.
