Make CCTV recording compulsory in care and residential homes across the UK.
Increasing numbers of families are now turning to secret, undercover filming to gain evidence of abuse and poor care - genuine evidence that CCTV is now needed in care homes.
We feel the introduction of CCTV would bring the following, much needed improvements;
For residents and their families:
• Increased protection against abuse, both physical and mental, by care home staff or other residents
• Greater confidence when placing their relatives within the care industry
• Opportunities to view the care on their relatives beyond limited visiting hours.
For care and residential home operators
• Protection for staff against false or malicious allegations of poor or abusive care
• Clear-cut evidence against unjustified legal and insurance claims
• Extra observational aids for caring for residents when short staffed.
• Improved security
