Care Campaign For The Vulnerable

COMING IN 2027 – THE CCFTV ACADEMY💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜

Helping families feel informed, supported and better prepared when navigating the care sector. In 2027, Care Campaign for the Vulnerable will be launching the CCFTV Academy, a series of informative and practical workshops designed for families who are considering care for a loved one, preparing for that transition, or already navigating the care system.

Having experienced the challenges of finding suitable care for my own mother, I know just how overwhelming the process can be, particularly when families are unfamiliar with their rights, the responsibilities of care providers and the questions they should be asking. The CCFTV Academy will bring together knowledge, experience and professional insight to help families understand important areas including:

* Choosing the right care home and what to look for.
* Understanding residents’ rights and family involvement.
* Communicating effectively with care providers.
* Raising concerns and understanding safeguarding.
* Understanding care assessments and funding.
* Dementia care, dignity, independence and wellbeing.
* The role of technology and safety monitoring in care.

CCFTV aim is simple: to give families the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions and feel better supported throughout their care journey. Whether you are just beginning to explore care options or have a loved one already receiving care, the CCFTV Academy will offer practical guidance and an opportunity to learn from experienced voices across the sector.

Launching in 2027.

When a familiar member of staff walks into a resident’s room, they bring more than knowledge of a care plan. They may know how that person likes to be approached, what helps when they feel anxious and when a small change could mean something needs attention. That is why the encouraging signs of workforce stability highlighted by SCIE, responding to Skills for Care latest report, matter. Falling vacancy and turnover rates deserve recognition, alongside the continuing concerns about domestic workforce growth and declining international recruitment.

Through Care Campaign For The Vulnerable , I work with providers who invest considerable time and effort in supporting their teams. I see managers who listen, make time for training and help staff feel confident raising concerns - that commitment deserves to be acknowledged because families and residents feel the benefit.

For a relative, knowing the people caring for your loved one can make conversations easier and help trust develop. For someone living with dementia, familiar carers can offer reassurance and a better understanding of their individual needs and preferences. We should build on this progress by asking what helps people stay in care and listening carefully to their answers. Fair pay, supportive leadership, opportunities to develop and feeling valued all belong in that conversation.

Thank you to the providers and care teams working hard to create that stability. Supporting the people who deliver care is an essential part of supporting the people who receive it.💜💚

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable, support families who are trying to understand whether their loved one’s distress has been recognised and appropriately addressed. When reviewing care records, we have seen entries describing a person expressing an intention to harm themselves, without clear evidence of timely escalation, clinical advice or involvement from mental health services.

Missing documentation does not necessarily mean no action was taken. However, it leaves important questions about what happened next and how the person was supported to remain safe.

A recent Ombudsman finding involving a homecare provider is a reminder of why these concerns require a compassionate, professional response. Expressions of self-harm or suicidal thoughts must not be dismissed because someone is older, living with dementia or has made similar statements before.

Staff need clear procedures, appropriate training and access to timely clinical support. They should know who to contact, when specialist mental health input is needed and how to obtain emergency help where there is immediate danger. A referral also needs follow-up: who is supporting the person while they wait?

Care records should explain what was said, what action followed, who was informed and how the care plan was reviewed. Families should be appropriately involved, with respect for the person’s wishes, confidentiality and safeguarding needs.

CCFTV works with providers who respond thoughtfully to distress, welcome families’ observations and support staff to seek help. This good practice deserves recognition. Care teams should not be left to manage complex mental health concerns without responsive support from the wider health system.

Our role is to help families raise questions clearly and constructively, keeping the person receiving care at the centre.

A concerning entry in someone’s care notes should lead to a clear account of the response - not leave the next shift, a relative or another professional wondering whether anyone acted.

Looking forward to speaking at the Care Forum!

I’m delighted to be speaking at the Care Forum on 2nd November at the Forest of Arden Hotel in Birmingham.

I’ll be discussing something I’m incredibly passionate about — safety, transparency and the important role technology can play in improving care and supporting families.

Through my work with Care Campaign For The Vulnerable , I’ve seen just how important open communication, trust and meaningful family involvement are in delivering safe, compassionate care.

I’ll also be sharing my thoughts on how ethical, responsible technology can support care workers, improve safety and give families greater reassurance, without ever replacing the human compassion at the heart of good care. I’m really looking forward to meeting care sector professionals, sharing experiences and having some thought-provoking conversations about how we can continue raising standards together.

Because safer care, greater transparency and stronger family involvement should always go hand in hand. 💜💚
