In situations where persons with disabilities and seniors with dementia are unable to inform the authorities of the contact details of their parents/caregivers, the information printed on the card will be helpful. The VWO contact on the card will also enable the police to enlist their help. Other professionals, such as medical personnel, will also know whom to contact in an emergency and be able to provide appropriate medical intervention when treating persons with disabilities and seniors with dementia based on the information found on the card.

Offers and discounts will be extended to cardholders upon presentation of the DDR ID card at any of the participating companies. Please get DDR Benefits for the full listing of participating companies and the accompanying terms and conditions.

DDR is an electronic system used by voluntary welfare organisations (VWOs) to effectively manage client's information and monitor client's development over time. It can also aid VWOs in their collaborative efforts in the provision of coordinated services to clients.

Social service is not only about volunteering but it is a vibrant and meaningful sector to work in.   It features careers that share a common aspiration: to make a positive difference. 

 

National Council of Social Service (NCSS) is an umbrella body with more than 450 member social service organisations and provides leadership & direction in social services, enhances capabilities & promotes strategic partnerships to the member organisations.

 

Our members are non-profit organisations that promote and provide social and community services that cater for those in need, distress or at-risks for the vulnerable groups, including children, youth, families, seniors, persons with disabilities and persons with mental health issues.
