Social workers at the OCMW receive insufficient guidance, and federal money allocation lacks proper oversight. This situation has caught the attention of Brussels’ authorities, with Minister Anneleen Van Bossuyt (N-VA) urging action from the Brussels Region. What does this mean for Anderlecht’s vulnerable residents and the integrity of social services?
With the audit’s critical insights, the question remains: how will the Brussels Region improve governance to ensure better support and accountability? The following summary sheds light on the immediate concerns.
Why have internal controls in such a crucial public service lagged behind? And how can the Brussels Region guarantee that social workers receive the guidance they need? The audit signals urgent reforms are necessary to restore efficiency and trust:
- Internal procedures are either outdated or missing entirely.
- Social workers lack adequate supervision and support.
- Federal funds are not sufficiently monitored or controlled.
- Minister Van Bossuyt calls for immediate regional intervention.
Moving forward, the Brussels Region must implement clear, updated procedures and enforce stricter oversight to protect both social workers and the vulnerable populations they serve. Will these measures restore confidence and improve service delivery in Anderlecht’s OCMW?
