Welcome

Founder Jayne Connery Care Campaign for the Vulnerable gains the public support of Dominic Grieve MP for safety monitoring in communal areas in all care homes to be made law.

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable was founded over five years ago by former Marketing /Promotions Executive Jayne Connery from Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. It was set up to champion and to rally support for safety monitoring to be made mandatory in communal areas in ALL dementia care homes across the UK. The preventable neglect and failings in her own loved one's care led Jayne to become a Champion for better care standards - helping familes and family carers needing support and guidance, while rallying support from her local MP Dominic Grieve, former Attorney General. While undertaking this work she began to understand the many pressures and the sometimes unrealistic expectations being placed on good, conscientious care providers in the sector and therefore giving her a balanced understanding on how safety monitoring would be a postive for not only residents and families but care providers and dedicated carers. We are passionate regarding the championing the rights of our elderly, vulnerable, their families and our dedicated family/carers. We were recently invited to participate in the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Roundtable on Technology and asked to deliver a key speech at the Plymouth’s International Dementia Conference in April 2018 about the important work of Care Campaign for the Vulnerable. Our safety monitoring in care homes initiative is making national headlines with front page coverage, gaining full support of many MP's, including Dominic Grieve MP, former Attorney General and QC - who took our safety monitoring to be mandatory Campaign to Westminster. Jayne continues to help support families as well as working with Care Providers to encourage adopting safety monitoring and helping Providers deliver transparency and safer delivery of care across the sector.

Founder Jayne Connery’s own personal experience ended in January 2016 when she took her mother out of the care sector and back home to be cared for. Families and carers telling us they often witnessed (in communal areas ) resident’s falling, vulnerable elderly not being attended to in a acceptable waiting time, recruitment of inadequate and untrained staff, inappropriate manual handling, lack of specialised training in challenging behaviours in dementia care, unacceptable and inadequate ratio of care staff for vulnerable residents, elderly living with cognitive impairment not receiving the agreed one to one care as well as good care staff struggling to cope when not being supported by senior managers. This became the focus behind the tireless promoting and championing of safety monitoring in communal areas, exits and entrances to be made mandatory in all dementia/ care and nursing facilities in the UK, attracting many tens of thousands of supporters, including ,families in care, professional businesses, care sector professionals/providers and MP's.
