Social workers complain of threats and even physical aggression: purchasing video and audio recording equipment

Two new procurements were announced on the state procurements portal on November 23: video and audio recording equipment purchase and GPS-SOS commutators (emergency aid buttons). Companies had to present their offers by 9 AM on Thursday.

The GPS-SOS button procurement was halted due to a lack of information management system in the purchasing organisation to coordinate the use of the buttons, while the procurement for video and audio recording equipment continues, though further information on the purchase is not disclosed. A response to Delfi explains that the purchases were motivated by the need for objective and full information on staff’s interactions with families.
