Act

In the rehabilitation landscape of Germany, Harry Fuchs is known and recognized as an advocate of a social system that is consistently geared towards promoting self-determination and equal participation of disabled people. As an independent expert, Harry Fuchs has been advising on the preparation of legislative projects since 1996. He was significantly involved in the development and further development of the Ninth Book of the Social Code (SGB IX) and long-term care insurance (SGB XI). He is also currently speaking out with concrete proposals for solutions to the Federal Participation Act . Based on broad professional experience, including through activities in the pension insurance and various social services at the state level, and a precise analysis of legal reality, he has taken a critical position on almost all questions of health, care and rehabilitation over the past decades and thus influenced legislation and the application of the law . With his publications, statements and contributions to discussions on panels and at events, Harry Fuchs makes it clear that self-determination and equal participation of people with health impairments and disabilities are the central goals of all social benefits. He often polarizes by taking a clear position and presenting an interpretation of the law that differs from the understanding of some responsible persons. He puts the reform will of the federal government codified in SGB IX in the foreground, which has received new impetus through the ratification of the UN Disability Rights Convention ( UN-CRPD ), and not the intrinsic logic of the respective social benefit areas. For Harry Fuchs, transparency and discourse are necessary prerequisites for changes in the social security system, and in this sense he is in constant and targeted exchange with other actors (excerpt from the DVfR's appreciation on the occasion of his 70th birthday in 2015).
