European Parliament plenary will also vote resolution on EU #ChildGuarantee this week

Calls upon EU Commission + Member States to

▪️reach out in more effective way to homeless children
▪️connect transnational work under EU Child Guarantee & EU Homelessness Platform

One key tool to fight the exploitation of migrant workers is to let them change job/employer easily. EU lawmakers must commit to free, simple and swift procedures as they revise the #SinglePermitDirective.

At the joint EP and EESC event on combatting homelessness, @JoostKorte, DG of Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, assures that there is enough money to combat homelessness. But more multilateral partnerships are needed (& I add political will) @CaritasEuropa @DGEmployment

@CaritasEuropa @caritasalbania @CaritasSlovakia @CaritasAustria @CaritasVl @CaritasBelgium It was great to co-facilitate Caritas’ advocacy learning path the last 18 months and to celebrate with the participants who successfully “graduated”. May their advocacy for the marginalised be all the more impactful!

[Caritas Europa @CaritasEuropa]

Climate change and heat waves strongly affect healthcare in Europe. Workers in southern France have to work in hot temperature to deliver care. This is why ⁦⁦@EPSUnions⁩ is developing policies on climate change. https://t.co/pbo2ZW53cb

It was a pleasure to hear about the EU-funded Erasmus project that Caritas in 6 countries (DE, RO, IT, LT, AU, UK) were involved in to facilitate health prevention and promotion in families with vulnerabilities. @CaritasEuropa @Caritas_web @CaritasAustria @CaritasItaliana @CSAN

How to ensure people over profits when it comes to long-term care delivery for the elderly? This is one of many questions we are discussing at @CaritasEuropa report launch today.

[Shannon Pfohman @SPfohman]

Happy to be attending the EC Mutual Learning Workshop on Quality in LTC and reflecting on the necessary indicators for achieving integrated quality long-term care. @CaritasEuropa @katarinaik @BachmannDana

.@CaritasEuropa colleagues present evidence-based LTC recommendations during its Fair Care Study Visit in Romania to influence and support the EU Member States in implementing the Council Recommendation on LTC. @Caritas_web @CaritasVl

[Shannon Pfohman @SPfohman]

Its been great to hear about Seniorinet, a Romanian platform of experts contributing with concrete solutions for LTC, as she urges more public funding should be invested in future LTC models to be sustainable and human-centred. @CaritasEuropa

[Shannon Pfohman @SPfohman]

During @CaritasEuropa Fair Care study visit, Dr. Valentin Vladu, health and LTC policy expert, stressed the importance for mayors and local authorities to understand the real concerns of communities to prevent elderly residents from dying alone in their homes, without LTC.
