The campaign to guarantee the right to maintain contact in care settings is gaining support and momentum. It's a credit to all the relatives and campaigners making their voices heard. The Government must listen and act to #EndIsolationInCare. #CareSupporter
Delighted to welcome more sign-ups to our call for a new right to a #CareSupporter: @age_uk and @PatientsAssoc. Support from family/friends is vital and must be protected in law across all health and care settings. relres.org/care-supporter/ #EndIsolationInCare @Helen_Whately

So important. That's why we're running a short survey on hospital visiting surveymonkey.co.uk/r/visits_…. What's your experience been like recently if you've wanted to visit someone in hospital?

Replying to @rightsforresid2
❤️‍🩹 Many families are experiencing major and traumatic difficulties when trying to support their relatives in health and care settings. 🏥 I met with John’s Campaign who seek a new legal right to guarantee access for at least one close relative or friend.

Great to see @relresuk making a difference, as MPs share their support in this debate for the right to a #CareSupporter. Hourglass is behind their motion to #EndIsolationInCare.
"I do not consider the status quo acceptable and I am on the case" @Helen_Whately Great commitment from the newly re-appointed Minister in Parliament yesterday. We look forward to working with you to bring in a right to a #CareSupporter #EndIsolationInCare youtube.com/watch?v=28UQ5dQ_…

#COVID #Guidance for #SocialCare has been updated. This includes many changes called for in April by the Relatives & Residents Association @relresuk on visiting. This campaigning group said the changes must be urgently implemented by all care homes. tinyurl.com/mr29m6z4

The future of human rights is down to us. Now. It’s time to fight hard. I used human rights to support a loved one receiving care. I don’t know what we would have done without this vital safety net, the Human Rights Act. I hope we never have to find out.

'Government guidance was updated 7 weeks ago...' and these days and weeks matter to our residents and their visitors. You are doing a great job @relresuk 👏
Rather than acting to help prevent the harmful impact of isolation in care homes, CQC’s own guidance is making the situation worse. Our letter to CQC expressing profound concern about their guidance on managing infection 👇 relres.org/letter-cqc-guidan… #EndIsolationInCare

We think @BorisJohnson you forgot to put #GloriasLaw in #QueensSpeech - so please can all our followers contact their MPs and ask them to support @rightsforresid2 @relresuk @JohnCampaign #rfr rightsforresidents.co.uk/cro…

Do share this poster with them - there is nothing to say it is only one person - do also speak to @CareQualityComm if they will not change #rfr

We must ask whether @UKHSA officials have recently read the NHS Constitution which binds them, as with the rest of @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk to follow human rights law such as the Equality Act. They appear to have no concept of duty to the vulnerable INDIVIDUAL - yet this is law
care home says that this is not valid and that they have to follow public health England. that public health England overrides this advice so this is useless to overcome the care home who say that they just follow public health England and that this advice does not apply

50% of #BSA respondents said they were dissatisfied with #socialcare services in 2021 The main reasons given for being dissatisfied with social care were poor pay, working conditions and training for social care staff. Learn more: kingsfund.org.uk/publication…

Your testimonies were so very powerful if extremely tough to hear. Huge thanks to you all- you made such a deep impression and my good friend @Peter_Dowd immediately raised the issue with the PM at PMQs.
Thank you to our fantastic speakers for travelling to Westminster to share their experiences today. Your voices were heard and resonated so powerfully. This is just the first step as we push for a legal right to a #CareSupporter but you have started us off with a bang!
