French term
inspecteur général des affaires sociales
French to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
Assignation.
"À LA REQUETE DE :
...
Monsieur AAA, né le 15 avril 1945 à Rouen, Inspecteur Général des Affaires Sociales, demeurant ..."
This is potentially quite ambiguous : "Affaires Sociales" **could**, potentially, refer to "industrial affairs" / "employee-related matters". Or it could be social in the sense of "corporate".
Most likely, though, in my opinion, is that this person is THE NEMESIS of all practitioners of professions libérales in France, including of course self-employed translators. Namely, a Social Security General Inspector (or Inspector General). Probably lurking inside URSSAF, the dark heart of the beast.

Inspector General of Social Welfare
Social is only 'half a false friend'. Sozial in German also often translates as social welfare. Industrial (tribunal etc.), employment-related and/corporate are also feasible alternatives.
What 'social cohesion' means is anybody's guess, but - from recent events in the UK - might be queuing in a tightly packed, but long line.

Example sentence:
The “Inspection Générale des Affaires Sociales” (IGAS) is the French Government audit, evaluation and inspection office for health, social security, social cohesion, employment and labour policies and organisations.

: Although used predominately in ROI, I like "social welfare" as a "neutral" term describing the whole shebang of "social" stuff in France and other continental jurisdictions

Inspector General of Social Affairs
Hello
I'm too tired to say yet again why I favour this word for word solution, but I did check what the agency does and its far beyond what we think of when we use the term "welfare"
