Mandate Body Cams for staff who work with those with communication difficulties

Petition Details

We ask that the use of body-worn cameras for staff who work with those who have communication and severe learning difficulties, for example in schools, be made mandatory to help prevent any abuse and provide evidence when needed.

Additional Information

We believe individualised monitoring can help reduce poor practice and prevent abuse. It could also enable gaps in training and low care standards to be revealed and promptly addressed. It could provide indisputable evidence for those who cannot communicate effectively, and empower other carers to report concerns. We believe that currently abuse is widespread and that alarmingly there is no accountability for those who commit it, highlighting a national failing in protecting the vulnerable.
