Care Rights UK publish ‘Reform of Adult Social Care: Our Vision’
Care Rights UK, a charity promoting the rights of older people in care, has published a report entitled ‘Reform of Adult Social Care: Our Vision’.
The report calls for care that ensures each individual drawing on support has the best possible quality of life, with human rights central to the provision of services.
Care Rights UK say:
“We want to see people needing care being empowered to have control over their lives and receive the support they desire from relatives and friends. Yet, we hear from people every day struggling to navigate the complex care system, facing barriers and having serious problems with their care. We see first-hand how their basic rights are being ignored and how existing legislation fails to protect them. Significant cultural change is needed to shift the power imbalance.”
The report documents current challenges, illustrated with real-life examples including examples relating to dementia care, and provides recommendations for change.
