Day funding facility

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A day care center is an institution in Germany that offers adults with (especially mental ) disabilities or with neurological or mental illnesses an alternative to work. Day care centers are alternatively referred to as support and support areas (FuB) .

statistics

In Germany, around 35,000 beneficiaries are employed in day-care centers. 23,621 euros are spent on this per person per year, depending on the federal state 18,000 to 36,000 euros per person and year. Depending on the federal state, there are 4 to 14 per 10,000 inhabitants in day-care centers.

target group

In day care centers mainly people are accepted who have completed their compulsory schooling and for various reasons are (no longer) able to do regular work, e.g. B. in a workshop for disabled people (WfbM) to pursue if they do not achieve a “minimum level of economically usable work performance” ( § 219 SGB ​​IX ). This criterion as well as the presence of an extraordinary need for care justify the refusal to admit the person concerned to a WfbM as an “ employee-like person ”.

In the state of North Rhine-Westphalia , workshops for disabled people do not exercise their right not to accept disabled people who meet the exclusion criteria. There are day funding centers in all other countries . In 2013, a survey by the “Federal Working Group of Supra-Local Social Assistance Institutions” among its members showed that the proportion of people between the ages of 18 and 65 who do not take advantage of WfbM offers but visit day care centers in various forms is over 20 percent. Although the number of day care centers of the Federal Working Group of Workshops for the Disabled (BAG WfbM) has stagnated since 2016, the number of employees in them increased steadily until 2019.

organization

In 2008, about half of the day care centers or FuB were part of the organizational part of a workshop for disabled people, which was located in their buildings. Around 17 percent were housed as part of a WfbM in their own building or at another location. The Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs speaks in this context of an “extended roof” of a WfbM. 23 percent were managed as an organizationally independent unit, and 6 percent were assigned to a residential facility.

Status of the supervised

Unlike employees in a workshop for disabled people who provide a “minimum amount of economically usable work performance” (Section 219 SGB IX), people who are cared for in a day care center or in a support and care area (a WfBM) have no formal status as an “employee-like person”. They do not receive any wages and are therefore not subject to compulsory social insurance for people with disabilities. In particular, they do not receive a pension in old age that is based on the average income of employees.

tasks

Through daily support to those who find there recording, an offer will be made to continue a social reference group by following the departure of a school or a similar institution for children and adolescents are available and through the day by opposites such as tension and relaxation , Work and leisure time or place of residence and workplace is divided and structured.

criticism

In 2013, Ingrid Körner , Senate Coordinator for Equal Opportunities for People with Disabilities in Hamburg , stated that day care centers, like most other special facilities for people with disabilities, are fundamentally due to the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities , which the Federal Republic of Germany ratified in 2009 would be questioned. In addition, the Bundesvereinigung Lebenshilfe sees the distinction between “workshop capable” and “not workshop capable” as discrimination against people with a high need for support. In the opinion of the federal working group of supra-local social welfare agencies, the extent to which the indefinite legal term “economically usable work” in Section 136 (2) SGB IX is interpreted differently within Germany violates the prohibition of arbitrariness .

In 2019, the Federal Association of Workshops for People with Disabilities demanded that the state of the exclusion of severely disabled people from participation in working life and from the social benefits that employees of a workshop for disabled people are entitled to by law be lifted.
