The POSTCARE 2.0
The POSTCARE 2.0 Project is an initiative supported by the European Union, involving collaborative efforts from Greek partners along with Public and Private Organizations and Associations from Poland, Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Serbia. The primary focus of the project is to address and analyze the challenges faced by assisted caregivers who have been displaced from third countries, with a specific emphasis on the evolving landscape of healthcare in Europe. This initiative also aims to explore the regulatory changes that have transpired in recent years, significantly impacting the caregiving sector.
One of the pivotal objectives of the POSTCARE 2.0 Project is to enhance awareness regarding the responsibilities of employers and the rights of caregivers providing personal welfare services. The project seeks to shed light on the rights of posted workers within the professional care sector, aiming to identify and address various issues plaguing the field.
Additionally, the project aims to address challenges related to the specific functions of caregivers, which at times may involve a combination of caregiving and domestic chores. Another key aspect of the initiative involves establishing clear criteria for working hours, recognizing the importance of defining and regulating these aspects to enhance the overall efficacy and quality of care services.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the project is divided in 3 Work Packages (WPs):
Work Package 1: Project management and coordination
Work Package 2: Learning and Sharing
Work Package 3: European Labour Mobility Congress 2023 and Dissemination
