Tiivistelmä
Transparency and compatibility of professional qualifications are keys to guiding flows of qualified and non-qualified workers in Europe. In the EQUIP project (2007–2009), a partnership of researchers, vocational educators and policy makers built a set of tools for the comparison of qualifications and skills among different EU countries in relation to at-home care of older people. The work promotes transferability of skills and qualifications by providing a framework based on best practices.
EQUIP has carried out a study of good practices in home care services for older people in six participating countries (Britain, Denmark, The Netherlands, Estonia, Spain and Finland). The outcomes of the research have been published in several articles in appropriate journals in these countries, but all the main outcomes concentrating in the best practices can be found collected in this book. Also included are discussions on the complexities involved in implementing the Eu-ropean Qualifications Framework (EQF) in a sectoral manner and in undertaking cross-national comparative research in the field of education for home care.
