Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is learning of the pressures faced by conscientious led Care Providers striving to offer a caring and safe environment to both service users and staff. Safety monitoring is proving to be a invaluable care assist tool - bringing a more open and transparent culture into care homes as well as saving valuable resources within the care home sector and the NHS
Care Campaign for the Vulnerable secured a meeting in Westminster with DUP MP Jim Shannon. Our founder Jayne Connery said ahead of the meeting, 'Our safety monitoring in care homes initiative through Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is gaining huge support and the more MP's who get on board, the better. The response we've had from MP Jeremy Hunt reiterates the same 'stumbling blocks' which quite frankly shouldn't be. We are looking for CCTV to be made mandatory in communal areas of all care /nursing homes.
CCFTV Founder Jayne Connery meeting Jim Shannon MP a Westminster to rally support for safety monitoring in care homes
Many care homes we visit and those who contact us, already have CCTV in communal areas - so if it can work in one, it can work in all. Our CCTV Care Campaign for the Vulnerable has Ambassadors in Northern Ireland, namely Julianne McNally and family, whose grandmother was neglected in a care home and unfortunately passed away - this case was well documented and Julianne saw the work we are doing and asked if she could rally support for CCTV in care homes in Northern Ireland. We want Ministers to understand our cause and support us but also understand the turmoil families go through and are STILL going through because of preventable neglect in the care sector in the U.K.
We hope Jim Shannon MP will look at our incredible work and understand the fantastic support from families and care workers and help push forwards to raising this as a debate in Parliament.
Our Director's meeting will be held in Westminster Parliament Central Lobby at 2 pm on 10th October 2017.
"The evidence from Providers who have installed CCTV seems to me to merit careful attention and to be quite persuasive"
