Another side to these problems is people used to choose to have a 'care' career where as now anyone on benefits/seeking work is being 'forced' to take any job or else the will face money suspension sanctions. I live in an area where most weeks the local newspapers job section has only care jobs. These people still have to pass what was a CRB and homes are bound by rules of having to get 2 references before they can employ someone (paperwork was one of the big things checked on a CQC inspection, homes lost their stars if not correct) BUT alot of people are taking these jobs for the wrong reason, just a job.
As for cameras could relatives not install their own in their relatives room? I dont know the answer... I know there are some guidelines laws in CH's that are more than silly, we were not allowed to put names on doors! SW told us it was about residents privacy, my guess is loved one's might know where their room is and choose to sit in there rather than wheeled out to a lounge where they can all be 'cared for' together.
