The CCFTV Organisation

CCFTV - In Ellen's memory

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable (CCFTV) was founded by former promotions and airline professional, Jayne Connery, who lives in Buckinghamshire. During her time in the care sector, she saw an urgent need for greater transparency when caring for vulnerable residents living with dementia and a decision was made to take her loved one back home when unwitnessed and unexplained injuries happened in her care. Jayne told of the struggle navigating the care system and how she experienced little support when trying to communicate her mother's care needs.

Jayne decided to become a care partner and set up a dementia support group for families. Through sheer hard work and commitment, Care Campaign for the Vulnerable (CCFTV) is now an independent, national, not for profit, safety in dementia care organisation working with the sector to champion and promote the use of safety monitoring in communal areas within all UK care homes, particularly communities caring for elderly living with dementia.

The work we undertake brings families and care workers to us seeking our help and advice. CCFTV is the only safety monitoring in care organisation that directly supports families and carers by working together with the care sector, including commissioning groups, safeguard teams and social workers to help bring positive outcomes. CCFTV supports families through evictions as well as being invited to care homes to talk about the benefits safety monitoring will bring to all who live and work in care. We are regularly asked to speak at care shows and exhibitions and comment on elderly dementia care /social care issues on TV and national news media and constantly raise awareness to a care sector that despite being vastly under-funded and lacking support, has incredible and dedicated care professionals working in it. CCFTV - TOGETHER, WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE #ellensmemory #ccftv

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable was one of the first organisations to call for a public inquiry way back in April 2020 and so we are now pleased to see a commitment from the Government to hold a public inquiry on the handling of care homes during the Covid 19 pandemic. If you would like to talk to us in confidence about your experience in a care home during the Covid pandemic, please contact us in strict confidence at ccftv.cares@gmail.com

WHAT WE DO...

We are passionate about working together with care industry professionals to champion better transparency, safety and care particularly to elderly living with dementia. CCFTV attracts national media, commentating on elderly social care issues and gaining tens of thousands of supporters - leading an influential initiative for the use of safety monitoring in all U.K. care environments. We give our services FREE OF CHARGE. CCFTV spent five years collating and submitting evidential documentation for the use of safety monitoring in care homes after our founder’s mother suffered negative care experience and often witnessed care workers have fingers of blame pointing at them after unwitnessed injuries to vulnerable residents occurred. The evidence sought - NHS and care home cost savings, safeguarding reductions, agency spend reduction, assistance with staff disciplinaries, quality monitoring daily, improved inspection report outcomes - as well as a commercial value too. CCFTV gained support from MP’s taking our safety monitoring in care to Westminster Hall and calling it ''persuasive”.

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable Objectives

Mandatory use of independent safety monitoring in all long term care facilities

Establishing in law that elder abuse is a hate crime and should be treated as such

Ending the shame of resident eviction from care homes on commercial grounds by giving them rights of tenancy

The professionalisation of carer roles with commensurate remuneration

Greater participation of family and advocates in planning and delivery of care

Who supports us...?

Our team are a voluntary team of experts in care ranging from CEO’s Care Providers to Dementia Care trainers. CCFTV raises awareness of elderly social care issues and comments in the National News/TV/Radio. We are a national, not for profit, safety in elderly care organisation and lead influencers for providers to adopt safety monitoring that leads to a more transparent, open and safe caring culture especially when looking after elderly living with dementia. CCFTV also advises NHS and care providers - having worked with NHS Croydon Hospital on their Dementia Care Strategy and invited to talk to families and care staff on the benefits safety monitoring can bring to all care environments. CCFTV allow families and carers a voice. Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is grateful to all our 80,000 supporters, including families, care staff and leading care industry professionals.
