WHY CARE CAMPAIGN FOR THE VULNERABLE?
Care Campaign For The Vulnerable is a leading independent, not for profit, safety in elderly care 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. Negative care experiences did not dissuade our founder from witnessing great care and some very special care professionals but saw an urgent need for better transparency and protection of vulnerable residents and their 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 representative. Personal and professional experience allow us to work together with families and care workers that contact us with reporting care concerns. We are proud to offer families 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. CCFTV is a responsible organisation and our priority and focus is the safety and good care for our elderly.
CCFTV is invited by care providers to talk to staff and families about 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 and supporting families who come to us with care concerns. 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 supported/assisted families to negotiate fair and a 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, influenced serious case reviews while standing beside families to ensure an open and transparent investigation outcome when dealing with serious care concerns. 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 of safety monitoring being a positive care assist tool for everyone who lives 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 those living with dementia. Working within the care sector we also raise awareness of 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, unwitnessed and unexplained injuries to our elderly in care homes, support whistleblowers and regularly asked to comment in the national media on this and other 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 environments.

When working in a care home Kelly Campbell saw the need for a 'dignity cover' after witnessing residents privacy being compromised when hoisted from one area to another. CCTV Care Campaign for the Vulnerable 100 per cent advocate the Dignity Cover and urge all service users to consider using this product as part of their daily care routine when residents /patients are having to use a hoist. We believe dignity matters - at all times.
