What we do

Dedicated to Safety in Dementia Care

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable (CCFTV) is a national, non-profit organisation championing safety, transparency, and accountability in the UK care sector. With a particular emphasis on dementia care, CCFTV advocates for the implementation of consent-led, independent  safety monitoring in care homes to protect residents and support care teams.

Our Founder and Director Jayne Connery regularly engages with care providers, staff and families, delivering expert talks on how care monitoring can improve care standards, reduce safeguarding incidents, and promote greater transparency. Her extensive experience addressing the needs of vulnerable individuals enables her to offer vital support to families and carers navigating the complexities of the care system.

As a leading voice in the sector, CCFTV collaborates with care providers, external healthcare agencies, and policymakers to drive transformative initiatives. Jayne has established herself as a respected commentator on social care issues, particularly those affecting dementia care, and is recognised for raising awareness about critical topics such as care home evictions, unexplained incidents/injuries and systemic challenges happening in care.

Jayne’s advocacy is deeply personal, inspired by her mother Ellen’s experiences and the stories of others facing similar struggles. She has spent years gathering evidence to highlight the benefits of safety monitoring, showing its potential to reduce NHS and care home costs, improve daily care quality, aid staff management, and enhance regulatory outcomes. Her efforts have gained support from Care England, Members of Parliament and recognition within Westminster, cementing CCFTV’s reputation as a trusted authority in the care sector.

Families’ Voices to Open COVID-19 Inquiry Module 6: Care Sector

Monday 30th June, the UK COVID-19 Inquiry will begin public hearings for Module 6 – The Care Sector. The hearings will open with a powerful Impact Film, offering an emotional and unfiltered account of how the pandemic affected those living and working in care settings. The film brings to the forefront the deeply personal stories of families who lost loved ones in care homes, alongside care workers who bore the weight of the crisis on the frontline. These accounts highlight the painful reality of enforced separation, unanswered questions, and long-lasting grief that continues to impact many to this day. Care Campaign for the Vulnerable (CCFTV) is proud to have quietly supported families featured in this important project. Their participation ensures that the human experience is not lost among data and policy reviews. In the words of one bereaved family member: “It would not have been possible without your professional recommendation and compassionate nature. It is truly an emotional...

Why the Call for Choice-Led Independent Safety Monitoring in Care Homes Must Be Heard

  Over the past decade, conversations around safety and transparency in care homes have slowly evolved — but not fast enough. At Care Campaign for the Vulnerable (CCFTV), we continue to call for a compassionate and balanced approach to safety in care: choice-led independent safety monitoring, with consent at its heart. This isn’t about installing cameras everywhere. It’s about offering families and providers a choice - to implement discreet, independently monitored systems that help safeguard residents, support staff, and promote confidence in care settings. CCFTV has listened to hundreds of families tell the same story, often accompanied by photos of injuries that remain unexplained. Safety monitoring can change that. At its best, independent monitoring strengthens the culture of a care home. It provides a layer of assurance, encourages good practice, and deters poor care or potential abuse. Importantly, it also protects staff from false allegations -  a growing concern in an...

CCFTV Statement on the Appointment of Chris Badger as CQC Chief Executive

The appointment of Chris Badger as the new Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care and Integrated Care at the Care Quality Commission signals what we hope will be a long-awaited turning point in the regulation of safety and transparency in care. Stepping into the role previously held by James Bullion, Chris Badger brings valuable experience from the local authority sector, and many of us working at the front line of care advocacy will be watching closely—hopeful that this marks the beginning of a new vision for the CQC. At Care Campaign for the Vulnerable, we have campaigned for over a decade for the implementation of choice-led, consent-based safety monitoring in care homes—particularly those supporting people living with dementia. While providers across the country have increasingly shown interest in adopting this technology, the progress has often been slowed by a lack of clarity from the regulator. Our calls for a consistent and supportive approach from the CQC have, until now, met...

Alzheimer’s Drugs – Too Costly” – But at What Cost?

News that potentially life-changing Alzheimer’s drugs may be deemed “too costly” for use on the NHS will feel like yet another blow to families already facing the heartbreak of this devastating disease. When decisions are made purely on financial thresholds, we risk losing sight of the human cost - the long days, the disrupted nights, the strained relationships, the lost independence. For many families, a treatment that even slightly delays the rapid progression of Alzheimer’s isn’t just “worth it”, it’s everything. Care Campaign for the Vulnerable hear from families every day who are watching loved ones slip away far too soon. These new treatments offer hope - not a cure, but time. Time to talk, to connect, to prepare, to love. Is that really too small a benefit to justify the cost? Of course, we understand NHS resources are finite. But the question should not only be “can we afford it?” - but also, “can we afford not to?” Dementia costs the UK billions annually in care, lost...

Championing Safety and Transparency in Care: How Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is Working with Care Protect

  At Care Campaign for the Vulnerable (CCFTV), our work remains steadfast to improve safety, dignity, and transparency in dementia care through collaboration, innovation, and consent-led approaches. Over the past decade, we’ve grown from a grassroots campaign into a nationally recognised voice, working closely with families, care providers, and policymakers to influence meaningful change. An important part of this journey has been working with organisations that share our values and Care Protect Ltd has been a long-standing, trusted partner in this space.

We reached out to Care Protect because they offered not only a high-quality technology solution, but also a comprehensive, ethical model of support. What makes Care Protect unique is their independent monitoring service. Their system uses...

Driving Positive Change in Care – CCFTV’s Partnership with ERA Group

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable’s  (CCFTV), mission is to champion transparency, dignity, and safety in care - especially for people living with dementia. Over many years supporting both families and providers, CCFTV has seen how financial pressures can impact the quality of care being delivered. While most providers are deeply committed to delivering high standards, the reality is that limited budgets and increasing operational demands often create significant challenges. That’s why we choose to align with organisations who not only understand those pressures but actively offer solutions to address them. One such organisation is ERA Group. ERA Group has over three decades of experience helping organisations across a wide range of sectors, including care, identify areas of overspend and inefficiency—allowing resources to be redirected into the areas that matter most. Their approach is rooted in independence, integrity, and a commitment to delivering real outcomes. This aligns...

CCFTV founder Jayne Connery to Walk in Memory of Her Mother, Raising Funds for BRACE Dementia Research

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable’s Founder and Director, Jayne Connery, will be undertaking a special seven-mile walk on the 7th of August 2025—what would have been her late mother Ellen’s 89th birthday. The walk, taking place locally, will be in memory of Ellen and in support of BRACE Dementia Research, a charity for which Jayne is a proud ambassador. This personal challenge marks another chapter in Jayne’s dedicated fundraising journey. To date, she has raised over £20,000 for dementia research through a series of physically demanding and emotionally significant challenges—each inspired by her mother’s journey through dementia care. These have included abseiling the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, the BA i360 in Brighton, and, most recently, Table Mountain in Cape Town . Jayne’s August walk will also serve as the beginning of her training for her biggest challenge yet - an international fundraising feat planned for 2026, which she hopes will surpass the impact of her Table Mountain...
