The CCFTV Organisation

Care Campaign For The Vulnerable is an independent, not for profit, national organisation set up to influence the care sector to practice a more transparent and safer caring environment by adopting safety monitoring in communal areas in all care and nursing homes in the U.K. A negative care experience did not dissuade our founder from witnessing great care and some very special care professionals but saw an urgent need for more protection of vulnerable residents and care workers. Our team of voluntary professionals include a Care Provider CEO, Dementia Trainer, former NHS nurse as well as three leading senior care professionals with extensive knowledge and service in the care sector and a family in care representitive. Personal and professional experience allow us to work together with families and care workers that contact us reporting care concerns. We are proud to offer familes and care workers a voice, working with providers and notable care industry professionals to promote a more open and transparent culture in the care of our most vulnerable elderly and their dedicated care workers.https://outstandingcarehomes.co.uk/help-to-choose-a-care-home/twenty-tips-for-choosing-the-right-care-home-for-your-relative/

CCFTV is invited by care providers to talk to staff and families on the benefits safety monitoring can bring into all caring environments. Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is the only UK safety monitoring in care homes initiative working with the care sector. We work with safeguarding teams, commissioning groups and social workers to achieve correct and rightful outcomes for families and care workers that contact us after exhausting all other ways for help. We have assisted families to negotiate a fair and more transparent approach to a loved ones care delivery, negotiated with providers to extend time on notice served as well as highlighting 'unfair' notices to quit care homes. In 2019 we worked with Croydon University Hospital on the Trust's Dementia Strategy Report for better care and understanding on admittance and ward stays for elderly patients living with dementia. CCFTV continue to gain support from care providers, care workers and tens of thousands of supporters. We understand the pressures and sometimes unrealistic expectations placed on many care staff and so allowing us a balanced understanding on safety monitoring being a positive care assist tool for everyone who live and work in a caring environment.

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable promotes good, safe person-centred care and a better understanding and support for our vulnerable elderly especially living with dementia. Working within the care sector we also raise awareness to the many commercial benefits safety monitoring can bring into a care business and proving to save valuable NHS and care home resources. Care Campaign for the Vulnerable has participated in the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Roundtable on Technology and we are regularly invited to speak at Dementia Care shows, events, exhibitions and invited to care/nursing homes. We are lead media commentators on elderly social care issues including 'unfair' notices to quit care homes, dementia care and regularly comment in the national media on these important elderly social care issues. MP Dominic Grieve took our safety monitoring in care initiative to Westminster Hall to be debated in 2018 and we continue to raise important awareness for better transparency and protection in the care of our most vulnerable elderly in care homes.
