Mallorca social services workers get a say in new plan

Mallorca gets two workshops on a new Balearic Islands social services plan: professionals can bring their ideas to Manacor and Palma this week. The first of four sessions takes place on Tuesday, 10 November, at the Sala de Cultura Sant Antoni in Maó, Menorca. Another workshop is due on Formentera, according to the Balearic Islands Department of Families, Social Welfare and Support for Dependency.

The workshops ask social services professionals what people need, what challenges they see and how the system could respond. The regional government wants their practical experience, alongside technical knowledge, to help shape its fourth Strategic Plan for Social Services. Esther Raya, a social work professor at the University of La Rioja and an expert in social planning, is taking part in the sessions.

After the workshops, officials will add the contributions to a draft plan. Social services participation and coordination bodies will then review it before the final approval process begins.
