El Origen
How this programme came to be, and the need it was created to address.
A gap in accessible information
The Savina Vento programme grew from a straightforward observation: domestic workers and carers in Spain often have difficulty accessing clear, reliable information about their own labour rights. Official sources exist, but they can be difficult to navigate, particularly for those unfamiliar with legal or administrative language.
This programme was developed to bridge that gap. The aim is not to provide advice, but to translate complex regulatory content into plain, understandable language that any worker can read independently.
A sector with a distinct legal framework
Domestic work in Spain is governed by a special employment regime established under Real Decreto 1620/2011. This regime differs in important ways from the general labour framework, and those differences directly affect Social Security rights, contract requirements, and access to unemployment protection.
Understanding the framework matters. The programme draws directly on this legislation, and on subsequent reforms, to present information that is grounded in what the law actually says.
How We Work
Source from official legislation
All content is drawn from Spanish law, official government publications, and public institutional sources such as the Ministerio de Trabajo, SEPE, and the TesorerÃa General de la Seguridad Social.
Translate into plain language
Legal and administrative texts are rewritten in accessible, everyday language without losing accuracy. Technical terms are always explained when they appear.
Present without personal advice
The programme presents information, not recommendations. It describes what the law says; it does not tell any individual what to do. This distinction is important and is maintained throughout all materials.
Keep materials current
Labour law in Spain evolves. The programme is reviewed periodically to reflect legislative changes, including updates to the SMI, Social Security regulations, and unemployment coverage rules.
This programme does not offer legal or labour advice of any kind. For personal guidance, please consult a qualified professional or contact the relevant public authority.
