What the petition asks
Make it law for care workers to wear body cameras with voice recorders to protect vulnerable patients. Footage could be used in a court of law if needed. I have been a care worker for 9 years in community care, home, nursing and 1:1 care. My dad had advanced Alzheimer's.
I have worked with older people and people with Alzheimer's, learning disabilities and down syndrome. Throughout my career I have seen these precious, vulnerable people being abused. Someone needs to protect them and be their voice. 'No excuse for abuse, be my voice'.
