Promotion of Welfare Vision 2020
-Efforts of each member organizationWhat is Welfare Vision 2020?
In Japan, the year 2040 will be a critical year especially in the field of social welfare
as it is estimated that various social problems caused by the declining birthrate andaging population will be emerged in 2040. Looking at this 2040 problem, Japan
National Council of Social Welfare (JNCSW) formulated JNCSW Welfare Vision2020 (Welfare Vision) in February 2020 as a compass showing the direction ofproactive and cross-cutting efforts towards 2030 so that it can expand what built bysocial welfare workers or social welfare organizations such as councils of social
welfare, social welfare foundations, social welfare institutions,

Minsei-iin(commissioned welfare volunteers), Jido-iin (commissioned child welfare volunteers),
senior citizens clubs, etc. and further, can pass it to future generations.

Towards the Realization of the Prosperous Welfare Society Where We Live
togetherSocial welfare workers/organizations have accumulated various social welfare
practices for a long time, and founded or reformed many social welfare systems aswell as worked on the development of welfare community. All are closely connectedwith the realization of the prosperous welfare society where we live together.
Internationally, they are also connected with SDGs (Sustainable Development
Goals) that is aiming to the realization of “a sustainable society with diversity andinclusiveness where no one will be left behind” towards 2030.
Under the Welfare Vision 2020, social welfare workers should aim to realize theprosperous welfare society where we live together. Then, what is the prosperous
welfare society where we live together? It is a society where each and every
inhabitant can work together, support each other on a daily basis, find fun andpurpose in life, and live a life without being isolated from society even if they havevarious difficulties in their lives. Welfare Vision 2020 shows eight (8) efforts torealize it.
To promote concrete practices of those efforts, JNCSW called its member
organizations for the formulation of Action Guideline, and members including
regional councils of social welfare as well as various national-level social welfareorganizations (classified councils, associations of organizations) formulated theirown Action Guideline by 2021.

Course of Conduct as Minsei-iin (commissioned welfare volunteer), Jido-iin(commissioned child welfare volunteer) and Council of Minsei-iin Commissioned
Welfare Volunteer)/Jido-iin （Commissioned Child Welfare Volunteers）towards
the Realization of an Inclusive Community Society
National Federation of Minsei-iin （Commissioned Welfare Volunteer）/Jidoiin （Commissioned Child Welfare Volunteers) is a national organization of3

Minsei-iin/Jido-iin. The number of its members is more than 230,000. In March
2022, it formulated “Course of Conduct as Minsei-iin (commissioned welfare
volunteer), Jido-iin (commissioned child welfare volunteer) and Council of
Minsei-iin Commissioned Welfare Volunteer)/Jido-iin （ Commissioned Child
Welfare Volunteers）towards the Realization of an Inclusive Community Society.”
It shows the direction of activities of Council of
WelfareMinsei-iin （Commissioned

Volunteer ） /Jido-iin （ Commissioned Child Welfare Volunteer ）organized by Minsei-iin (commissioned welfare volunteer) in each region
towards the realization of an inclusive community promoted by Japanese
government. Concretely, it includes the following six (6) items, and it can be said
that they are the very foundation of activities accumulated by Minsei-iin(commissioned welfare volunteer).

The idea of inclusive community society is in common with that of the activities
of Minsei-iin/Jido-iin. Therefore, in this Course of Conduct, the foundation ofactivities of Minsei-iin/Jido-iin will be confirmed for further efforts. This Courseof Conduct is also in common with the idea of the Welfare Vision 2020, andamong some cases of Minsei-iin/Jido-iin activities, even commonality with SDGs
can be seen.
For local communities, Minsei-iin (commissioned welfare volunteer) working intheir communities is a counselor and a watcher. Social problems in communities
are changing year by year, and accordingly, activities of Minsei-iin is changed.
Therefore, every decade, National Federation of Minsei-iin (Commissioned
Welfare Volunteer)/Jido-iin (Commissioned Child Welfare Volunteer) shows
basic direction or priority issues of activities of Minsei-iin or Council of Minseiiin (Commissioned Welfare Volunteer) /Jido-iin (Commissioned Child Welfare4Volunteer) as the “Measures to Strengthen Activities.” The latest one, which
includes three (3) important points such as “to strengthen the bond incommunities, and to increase the power of communities,” was formulated in 2017
on the occasion of the centennial of Minsei-iin system. The Course of Conducts
is also based on this centennial Measures to Strengthen Activities, andadditionally, it targets to realize “a community as the base of comfortable society
where people support each other,” that is the centennial slogan of National
Federationof

Minsei-iin(Commissioned

WelfareVolunteer)/Jido-iin(Commissioned Child Welfare Volunteer) set in 2017.
Comprehensive and multi-layered support system is in progress towards therealization of inclusive community society. Most important thing is how to findpeople who have problems, and to provide appropriate support for them. That’s
why Minsei-iin in a community is greatly expected. According to the Ministry of
Health, Labor & Welfare (MHLW), it is said that; “it is only community residents
including Minsei-iin/Jido-iin who can recognize households under serious
situation that is difficult to reveal in an early stage.”
The substantial role of Minsei-iin, i.e., to watch, to find and to connect, isunchanged, and becomes more and more important. This Course of Conduct
shows their devotion to their duty.

To be social welfare corporations to support community welfare and to lead
inclusive community society ~ Action Plan 2025~
The mission of social welfare corporations is to contribute to “the improvementand development of social welfare in society and community.” They are highly
public and reliable corporations always trying to pursue stable and continuous
management of social welfare services as well as working on various life
problems and social welfare needs of community residents.
National Council of CEOs of Social Welfare Corporations, an organization of6

CEOs of social welfare corporations, formulated Action Plan 2025 as a mid-term
action plan of social welfare corporations in Japan in April 2021.
Society with declining birth rate and ageing population is coming right aroundthe corner, and population decreasing will cause so-called “2040 problems” inJapan. Under such circumstances, it is estimated that community life problems
will become more complicated and diversified, and therefore, social welfare
corporations are expected to play a role of safety-net in each community as wellas to develop community-based practices.
To meet such diversified needs, it is necessary for social welfare corporations andsocial welfare institutions to establish their own autonomous management aswell as to cooperate and collaborate each other.
Based on such background, National Council for CEOs of Social Welfare
Corporation formulated Action Plan 2025 as a mid-term action plan of social
welfare corporations in Japan which is a 5-year project from 2021 to 2025 (fiscal
year).
National Council for CEOs of Social Welfare Corporation formulated similar
Action Plan (mid-term action plan) over 25 years in 5 terms, and worked toachieve them. This Action Plan 2025 is designed based on the progress of its
previous one, Action Plan 2020, and it especially emphasizes the role of social
welfare corporations to lead inclusive community society as well as to support
community welfare.
National Council for CEOs of Social Welfare Corporation defines this Action
Plan 2025 as their course of conduct which translates Welfare Vision 2020 of
JNCSW into concrete actions. Further, as it has clarified its relationship with
SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) of the UN (September 2015) and
Governance Code of JACO (the Japan Association of Charitable Organizations)(September 2019), now it has become more specific.
This Action Plan 2025 is an indicator of management to establish a governancethat cover the necessary elements for management of social welfare corporations,and it fixes 10 Management Principles to be a social welfare corporation withhigh publicness/public interest/reliability.

Also, aiming for what social welfare corporation should be in 2040, it shows 14
challenges to be tackled by social welfare corporations based on the 4 Basic
Attitude, i.e.,
I.

Basic attitude towards management

II. Basic attitude towards support
III. Basic attitude towards community society
IV. Basic attitude towards social welfare human resources,
and for each of those 14 challenges,➢

Council for CEOs of Social Welfare Corporation③ Challenge of Municipal Councils of Social Welfare
To be a “Platform (a place of cooperation/collaboration)” for concerned people ofwide-range in a community ~Management Guidelines of Municipal Councils ofSocial Welfare (the second version)~
Each member of Prefectural Councils of Social Welfare and Municipal Councils
of Social Welfare is an independent organization, and each of them has its own
9management policies, service plan, etc.
Under the Social Welfare Law, councils of social welfare are defined as “anorganization of which purpose is to improve community welfare.” Every
prefecture and municipality has its own council of social welfare. They are
working independently and sometimes together with others. They are playing
an important role in public welfare systems such as daily life independence
support project or welfare life fund loan project, etc. They also advocate theirown projects such as “Salon Project (community salon project)” which provides
an opportunity for the elderlies or family with small children in a community tomake friends or to find a place to stay. This project is implemented widely allover Japan.
Such services or ways of management of councils of social welfare are regularly
examined and investigated by Community Welfare Promotion Committee of
JNCSW, in which representatives of each council of social welfare participate.
Community Welfare Promotion Committee formulated Management Guidelinesof Municipal Councils of Social Welfare in 2003. It was about how the
management of councils of social welfare should be. After that, in July 2020, its
contents was reviewed according to the environmental change surrounding
councils of social welfare, and consequently, it was revised to make its second
version.
This second version is based on the contents of Welfare Vision 2020 of JNCSW
that was formulated in February 2020. It also meets the improvement of thecomprehensive support system in a community according to the revision of Social
Welfare Law so that an inclusive community society will be realized in Japan.
In this second version, highlighted is a council of social welfare which is expected
to play an important role and function as a core organization to upheave thecomprehensive support system towards the realization of an inclusive
community society. For this, councils of social welfare should make effort to be a
“Platform (a place of cooperation/collaboration)” for concerned people of widerange in a community as shown in Welfare Vision 2020. Also, it is necessary toreview how councils of social welfare should be according to the changing
situation.

10

In this second version, the following 3 main points of management of councils ofsocial welfare in the future are indicated:【Points of management of councils of social welfare in the future】① To meet all community life challenges as well as to reconstruct theconnection in a community (to make comprehensive support system)② To strengthen the collaboration among departments in a council of social
welfare as well as to reorganize its organization as needed③ To promote cooperation/collaboration of service/activities in a wide area
beyond the municipality zone
Municipal Councils of Social Welfare have played an important role in promoting
community welfare. In the future, to handle more complicated and diversified
life problems of community people, it will be indispensable to associate withconcerned people of wider-range.
Together with community residents, volunteers, Minsei-iin/Jido-iin (community
welfare volunteers/child welfare volunteers), social welfare corporations, social
welfare institutions, NPOs, firms, and any other persons/organizations
concerned outside of social welfare field, councils of social welfare should share
