Creepy? The articles or the thread?

Now you mention it, not the thread as that would insult the person who started it.
The care system, the low wages, the unsuitable sinister staff low wages attract.

it doesn’t get the attention it warrants - financial or political. Channel 4 news had a brief section today, perhaps that’s a start.

“(CCTV) cameras had been activated in patient bedrooms without the consent of patients for the purpose of protecting staff against potential allegations of abuse.”

Some families of patients have been known to put mini cameras in patients rooms to catch staff abusing patients.
Low Pay, employing mentally unstable workers = abuse.

sure. But here the provider put CCTV cameras in patients bedrooms (!!) Against their wishes (!!) in order to ‘protect’ staff from allegations of abuse.

I know, not good. Will these cameras protect patients from being abused by burnt out underpaid staff who take their frustrations out on patients?

Whilst pay in the care sector is abominable, and certainly doesn’t help produce a caring care system, not all abusive practitioners are low paid Fake NHS psychiatrist 'medicated at least 160 patients'

A friend of mines son was assaulted by a member of staff - leaving his arm broken. This was caught on cctv but the footage wasn’t admitted as evidence.
what we need is de-institionalisation Of the care system. As long as people are locked away in institutions, away from their families and communities, they will be treated as animals

“In that dim space, we met other bereaved families and I was given an A4 laminated photo of Connor. Eh?
An hour later, ‘important’ people spoke at the meeting while families sat silently around the edge of the room. Five minutes before the end of the meeting, we were told to stand and hold up our laminated dead.”

Solidarity against neoliberalism!
Attended an interesting online discussion with The Care Collective - bit academic but really interesting about the undervaluing of caring in a neoliberal system and the politics of interdependence etc. They were looking at everthing from the care of children, care of the old etc to care for the natural world.
Our govt needs to change everything about how see care especially now post covid.
