Stop unfair banning, restrictions and evictions by care home providers
Your Voice Matters was set up 2010 after I was banned from a care home http://www.yourvoicematters.org.uk/rights2speakup4care. Providers possess the powers of a landlord. They can ban and restrict loved ones (or any professional) and evict residents; Also PRIVATE paying residents have no protection.
The Care Act 2014 alleges residents fully or partially funded and placed by L.A.'s are protected under the Human Rights Act 1998. CQC guidelines (2/11/16) purport that residents are protected under Article 8 BUT the Housing Act 1988 provides ultimate powers for providers to ban, restrict and evict; some instigate malicious falsehood and staff will support as fearful of reprisals. The above Acts need amending to ensure all public members are protected in care homes, irrespective of fee source.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, your petition could ask Parliament to make a specific change to the law, to change the powers of care home providers.
