Social Domain Advisory Council

The Social Domain Advisory Council (ASD) advises the Municipal Executive (B&W) on the local implementation of legislation in the Social Domain. This involves all kinds of issues that are important to you as a citizen. Think of housing, Health, welfare, work, income and youth policy.

These matters fall under the Social Support Act (Wmo), the Participation Act or the Youth Act. The council itself is also divided into those three categories.

Of and for residents

The ASD is there for and by residents. Its members are concerned residents who are committed to the community. The college can appoint new members, but the ASD always remains independent.

 The ASD provides advice from the perspective of residents. It does this by talking to citizens and businesses in Voorne aan Zee. When advising, the ASD uses the knowledge and experience of both residents and professionals. Together we provide valuable advice to the board of mayor and aldermen.

The goal of the ASD is for the municipality to implement quality policies that meet the needs of the residents of Voorne aan Zee. You can read more about the duties and powers of the ASD on the Overheid website.

The ASD deals with issues within the Social Domain. Examples include;

  • Support for independent (continued) living, self-reliance and living with an illness or disability (Wmo)
