CARER+ Digital Competence Framework (DCF) complete in pdf format available here: Digital Competence Framework

The CARER+ Digital Competence Framework (DCF) is designed around three Competence Domains:

• Domain A: General digital competence (DIGCOMP adapted)
  • Competences relevant for the development of general ICT literacy.
• Domain B: Enabling digital competence in social care work
  • Competences to make the application of digital technology possible, sustainable and accepted by both care workers and care recipients.
• Domain C: Care-specific digital competence
  • Competences focused on care sector-specific application of digital competence, and on enhancing the employability of carers through organisational digital competence and skill management.

The DCF structural elements are organised according to five dimensions:

• 3 Competence Domains
• 11 Competence Areas
• 41 Competences
• 2 Application Levels
