Introduce a ‘Transparency Law’ requiring social workers to wear body cameras

Closed 129 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should bring in a new law requiring all social workers to wear body cams. This would ensure there is recorded evidence of any failings so complaints can be fully investigated.
There are concerns about potential failings in children's services. How many more people need to be affected, and lives lost, before action is taken?
