Fair Care Learning and Training for Inclusion and Self-determination in Long Term Care

<< Objectives >>FairCare will develop a holistic and comprehensive training program implemented in local FairCare Training Centres to empower people with disabilities and/or in need of care to exercise self-determination in long term care. This will support them in effectively communicating their own needs and desires to their informal (e.g., relatives and partners) and formal carers (e.g., professional nurses) and, thereby, exercising greater self-determination in their daily lives.<< Implementation >>In close collaboration with the target groups, Fair Care will develop, pilot, and implement in person and online learning and training supported by the FairCare collaboration tools in local FairCare Training Centres. Three types of trainings will be developed: (1) peer training for disabled / elderly people to become peer counsellors, (2) cooperation training for the collaborative work of the three target groups, (3) community training on the provision of long term care.<< Results >>A FairCare Methodology will give an overview over the theoretical background. The FairCare Curriculum and Course will be supported by the FairCare Toolbox containing, video tutorials and the online FairCare collaboration tool. The trainings will be facilitated in locally established FairCare Training Centres. The FairCare Handbook will provide hands-on guidance for practitioners in social and care services on how to adapt FairCare. The FairCare Memorandum supports this with a mission statement.
