Following the comments from former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, who is launching a campaign to install CCTV in every care home up and down the UK to safeguard residents.

There is currently no mandatory requirement for care homes to install and monitor CCTV in public areas. Mr Grieve believes that by doing so, care providers could better protect vulnerable residents at greater risk of abuse.

Along with regular training to improve skills and reinforce best practice, the risk of abuse of the elderly will be significantly reduced and staff will be empowered to do their jobs and continue to provide the best care available, rather than feel that they are under constant surveillance.
