Further training for carers: responsibility and support in focus
In an ever-changing society, supporting people who are no longer able to manage their own affairs due to illness, age or other circumstances has become increasingly important. A regular event dedicated to this topic is the training for professional carers, which recently took place in the Hugo Geisert Hall in Buchen meine-news.de reported.
The training was organized by the support authority of the Neckar-Odenwald district office and was led by lawyer Dr. Jörg dancer from Berlin. As part of this further training, the responsibility and duties of carers as well as the interface to social benefits were discussed. Legal support plays a central role in this because it is necessary when someone is unable to manage their own affairs due to mental illness or mental limitations. So everyone is suddenly faced with the possibility of needing a legal guardian - be it due to an accident, illness or simply due to old age.
Legal support in focus
Legal support includes all activities that are necessary to take care of the legal matters of a person being cared for. This means that caregivers provide support in areas such as finances, government affairs and medical treatments. The focus always remains on the self-determination of the clients, since since the reform of care law in 2023, the wishes of the people being cared for must be taken into account. The censor for this approach is the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which takes into account the rights and wishes of those affected.
A very crucial point is that carers are not responsible for nursing support or doctor's visits - this does not fall within their area of responsibility. Instead, the focus is on legal representation where necessary to ensure the best possible care. The collaboration between the carers, the people being cared for and the service providers is of great importance.
Career supervisor wanted
The care authority in the Neckar-Odenwald-Kreis district still has a need for qualified professional carers. This activity can be carried out independently both full-time and part-time. The prerequisite for registration is proof of the necessary expertise, with people with legal or social education training being particularly sought after. Career-changers from other disciplines are also welcome, as any missing qualifications can be acquired through special specialist courses. Anyone who is interested can contact the care authority directly to receive further information. Contact details can be found in the corresponding message from meine-news.de.
A legal guardian is appointed by the court and must adhere to certain rules to ensure that the people being cared for are well looked after. For example, in crucial cases, decisions can also be made on a representative basis - for example if there is danger to oneself. These new regulations are designed to prevent abuse and meet the needs of clients, which meets the current trend towards strengthening self-determination, as berufsbetreuung.de explains.
Legal support is not only a professional field with perspective, but also an opportunity to have a real influence on the lives of people who need support. The question remains: Who has the courage and empathy to put themselves into this service?
