Gwangju Bitgoeul 50+ Center Social Service Safety Keeper Launch Ceremony Held

Bitgoeul 50+ Center, a support institution for life redesign of middle-aged and older adults in Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced on the 7th that it has selected and hired 20 social service safety guardians, experts in the field of public safety, under the New Middle-aged Career-type Job Project supported by Gwangju City and the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and held a launching ceremony.

The safety guardians are composed of former police officers and career military personnel, experts in the field of public safety, who accompany social welfare public officials and life support workers when they visit the field to ensure their safety. They also play a role in identifying and preventing accidental accidents or incidents that may occur at administrative welfare centers in advance.

The selected guardians received common training by experts in early March, including education on workplace etiquette and business manners, prevention of sexual violence and sexual harassment in the workplace, and training on rapid response to civil complaints and concerns about incidents and accidents during the performance of their roles as safety guardians. They were then assigned to locations requested by Gwangju City administrative welfare centers and elderly care welfare facilities.

A representative of Bitgoeul 50+ said, "Most of the guardians were experts who dedicated many years in their first careers to national public safety and military service. We hope they will be reborn to contribute to the work of public officials such as social welfare staff at administrative welfare centers, serving citizens with a spirit of volunteerism without safety concerns."
