Some facts about the CCF

The organisational structure of CCF Plopii Fara Soti wasn't quite clear to us, but Patrick Bellinck (project manager of project Oradea) was so kind to explain it to us by mail.

A CCF is a 'Complex of services for Child protection and Family support', This is quite similar to a CKG (Centrum voor Kinderzorg en Gezinsondersteuning) in Belgium.

The authorised Roumanian authority is the General Direction for Social Assistance and Child Protection Bihor (D.G.A.S.P.C.B). General Director is Mrs. Vadnai Zita Koncseck.

The D.G.A.S.P.C.B. itself is being subsidised for running costs by County council Bihor. County president is Alexandru Kiss.
