The Family Care Group conducts research, shares knowledge and innovates education from a relational perspective. The lectorate uses the metaphor 'Care Justitia', an innovative scale that replaces two, three scales that symbolize care recipients, informal caregivers and professionals. In the workplace they meet and we see them weighing how to share the care. The research group wants to contribute to a just care in which there is room for meaningful relationships.My area of ​​special interest is the young informal caretaker who, often from an early age, provides a close family member. About the unjust consequences for the 'normal' development in daily life of the young informal caregiver I give lectures, tutorials and inspiration sessions to informal caregivers, care recipients and professionals involved in the Care Justitia.At the dialogue table developed by the lectorate, I enter into discussions with those involved in the Care Justitia (informal caregivers, students, lecturers, professionals and policy makers) about ethical dilemmas in the deployment of technology within the care situation.
