Introduction

This survey is part of the Erasmus+ project Care4Skills. The goal of this project is to improve skills for people working in the long-term care sector. By collaborating with other partners across European Member States we strive to help care workers acquire new skills and improve existing ones. Long-term care involves providing support to people who need additional assistance due to age, disability, or mental health issues. This support can range from daily tasks to permanent nursing care.

This questionnaire targets social services managers (e.g. care managers, general managers, human resource managers, and similar professions where applicable), who manage care staff working with persons with disabilities or support needs, elderly persons, persons with mental health challenges, or chronic illnesses.

By sharing your insights, you will help us understand necessary skills and improve training for care workers and social care managers. This will also make care work more visible.

The survey will take approximately five to ten minutes to complete.

The answers are strictly anonymous and will not be passed on to third parties. They will be used for evaluation purposes and publication of findings. They will not be used or published in any other way. The answers will be stored in a protected environment. At the end of the questionnaire, you are free to decide whether you would like to receive further information about Care4Skills. You can provide your e-mail address for this purpose. This personal data is stored separately and cannot be associated with the survey data.

Please note: The Care4Skills project also provides a MOOC for care workers. It is voluntary and free of costs. It provides valuable knowledge to help people to improve care work, and adapt to technology that is used or may soon be used in the long-term care work.
