The Senate approved on Wednesday the creation of a professional card for professionals in home help services. The card will be awarded to all home workers presenting “professional certification” or who can demonstrate “two years of experience in intervention activities in the homes of elderly and disabled people” The new Minister of Solidarity, Catherine Vautrin, expressed doubts about the Senate's formulation, fearing that "housekeeping professionals or coaches, athletes or others" could be integrated by mistake to the device.
A solemn vote on this entire bill is planned for Tuesday in the upper house.
