Klojen (malangkota.go.id) – The role of Social Welfare Institutions (LKS) is very important to eradicate the Need for Social Welfare Services (PPKS) in Malang City. Currently, Malang City has 63 Social Welfare Institutions (LKS) with different types of services.
Against this backdrop, the Department of Social Affairs, Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, Population Control and Family Planning (Dinsos P3AP2KB) held technical guidance on improving human resource (HR) capabilities for LKS administrators at The 101 Malang OJ Hotel, Thursday (25/3/2021).
The Mayor of Malang, Drs. H. Sutiaji gave his appreciation for the holding of the technical guidance activity which presented the LKS administrators in Malang City, both those who have and have not registered. The LKS administrators are good people, because they serve orphans, the elderly, and others.
"I hope that in the future the nature of social assistance will not be in the form of goods, but in the form of cash assistance," Sutiaji hoped.
Assistance in other forms, the Malang City Government will certainly help, such as issuing certificates. For example, when there is a scavenger's child on the street and he wants to continue school. In that school there must be legality. Things like this cannot be resolved alone from the government side, but there must be a role from the side ranks in this case the Malang City District Court. At this event, the Mayor of Malang also handed over the LKS accreditation certificate in Malang City.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Malang City Social Service P3AP2KB, Dra. Penny Indriani, MM revealed that currently there are 63 LKS with different types of services, such as child services, elderly, disabled, homeless beggars, and so on. "LKS in Malang City, including the Child Welfare Institution (LKSA), Mandatory Reporting Recipient Institution (IPWL), Disability Social Welfare Institution (LKSD), Elderly Welfare Institution (LKSLU), and Social Welfare Institution (LKS)," explained Penny.
According to him, there needs to be an increase and update of data on new LKS or additional services, as well as an increase in service capacity within the institution. So that with this program, it is expected to provide the best service for people served at LKS.
Currently, he said, there are still many LKS that have not been registered, there are also institutions that still need exploration and direct approach to immediately register their operational permits to the East Java Province DPMPTSP by coordinating with the Malang City Dinsos P3AP2KB. (yon/ram)
