Minister Beke appoints assignment holder and external supervisory committee in childcare file

Flemish Minister of Welfare Wouter Beke appoints a commissioner and an external Supervisory Committee headed by Prof. Liesbeth Stevens to examine the problems in the childcare sector. Contract holder Leo Van Loo is instructed to reorganize enforcement and implement the childcare action plan. That plan should ensure, among other things, stricter permit conditions and greater transparency. Together with the announced audit, Beke hopes that the extra measures will “restore people’s confidence in childcare”.
