Home Care Workers Seminar

Targeted at: All staff who work as home care workers and home helps
Duration: 1 day

UNISON has been actively campaigning for what has been dubbed “The forgotten service” – the 3000 home care workers in Northern Ireland who form a major part of the social care team. The overwhelming majority of these workers are women who work part-time and have been dedicated for many years to care for their patients. UNISON’s Charter for Home Care staff includes

  • the recognition of the varied work that home carers do
  • fair pay and conditions
  • a high quality and well-resourced service for people who need home care
  • the right to a safe working environment
  • compliance with the working time regulations
  • issues of lone working

This event will look at UNISON's Charter for Home Helps/Carers, getting organised for registration and expanding duties of the sector.

Date: Saturday 1 March 2008
Location: Belfast
