@drjanetownson Sadly this type of theft often happens in registered care agencies and the registered provider does not reimburse the victim. The need for a more robust DBS is the issue here not registration. Abuse in registered institutions statistically is higher

How "NOT" to Be Human!!! Read and digest....this is so wrong on so many levels!!
@annalandre Glad you got the honour, so sorry you had this experience and glad you have shared it!
Yesterday I received one of the highest and most ancient honors in London, the Freedom of the City. But the celebration soured into an experience of indignity when upon arriving, I found that there was no ramp for me to access the stage.

Being Human is not simply staying alive its to live a life. Hear @CoProIsaac @isaacsamuels talk about the difference adult social care can make.

Imagine someone gets diagnosed with dementia, and looks to a well-known charity for support:
The charity: "with dementia you don't just die once. You die again, and again, and again"
Tone deaf and hugely stigmatizing, @alzheimerssoc
*** STOP PRESS ***
@BristolCouncil have dropped the 'Fair and Affordable Care' policy.
Statement soon.
Huge thanks to everyone who has supported us and shared their concerns.
❤️
@BristolCouncil seriously need to stop this inhumane policy. It will lead to false imprisonment on the basis that people need a bit more funding to live in their own home verses warehousing in an institution. There are many alternatives to save council money!!!
