CCFTV at UK Care Week - 20th-21st March 2024
Care Campaign for the Vulnerable (CCFTV) was established a decade ago by Jayne Connery, a former marketing and airline professional residing in Buckinghamshire. Recognising the critical need for increased transparency in caring for vulnerable individuals with dementia, Jayne, driven by personal experience, transitioned to a carer role and initiated a dementia support group for families.
Today, Care Campaign for the Vulnerable (CCFTV) stands as an independent, national, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to safety in care. Collaborating with the care sector, our mission is to advocate for and promote the implementation of independently monitored safety monitoring systems in communal areas and private rooms with consent/best interest decisions across all UK care homes, with a particular focus on dementia care.
CCFTV's impactful work attracts families and care workers seeking guidance and assistance. As the sole safety monitoring organisation offering direct practical support, we actively engage with commissioning groups, safeguard teams, social workers, NHS complex cases, and multidisciplinary teams to facilitate positive outcomes. Our involvement extends to supporting families reporting unjust evictions, neglect, and serious, unexplained injuries affecting elderly loved ones in care.
Our Founder, Jayne Connery, is frequently invited by care providers to discuss the manifold benefits of safety monitoring for residents and staff alike. Serving as a keynote speaker on safety in dementia care, Jayne participates in care shows and health exhibitions, becoming a prominent commentator on elderly dementia care and social care issues on national TV and news media. CCFTV strives to elevate national awareness of a care sector grappling with profound challenges, underfunding, and limited support while championing the dedicated professionals working within it. Together, we aim to make a meaningful difference. #ellensmemory #ccftv

WHAT WE DO...CCFTV is proud to work with the care sector to influence the use of safety monitoring in communal areas in dementia care homes
We are passionate about working with care industry professionals to champion better transparency, safety and care, particularly for the elderly 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 a 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 spending 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”.
Who supports us...?
Our team are a voluntary team of experts in care ranging from CEOs’ Care Providers to Dementia Care trainers. CCFTV raises awareness of elderly social care issues and comments on 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.

It was great to meet a very special lady today that CCFTV is supporting in her North London Care Home
1. Save the NHS in excess of £195 million a year with the mandatory use of Safety Monitoring in communal areas of Care Homes.
2..Reduce pressure on the NHS & avoid unnecessary 999 calls & Ambulance ‘call outs’, distress to Service Users & their loved ones.
3. Create a culture of open, honest & transparent care, building relationships with families with open lines of communication that negate conflict often leading to evictions.
4. Safety monitoring gives a voice to the most vulnerable in our society, protecting all those who live & work in Care Homes, providing answers that, without Safety Monitoring, would go unanswered.
CCFTV would like to draw attention to the high number of evictions there are in the care home sector. Communications are breaking down between family members and Service Users more and more, often resulting in an eviction leaving family members stressed and the Service user placed often at risk of decline.
We also want compulsory communal safety monitoring in care homes that would assist family members and staff when it comes to unwitnessed falls in communal areas and in turn save the NHS millions of pounds and unnecessary hospital admissions.
Both these subjects need urgent addressing as the high volume of correspondence coming into the Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is escalating and vulnerable elderly are placed at risk.

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.
