Dear Prime Minister,

On behalf of the Care Campaign for the Vulnerable (CCFTV), a national, not-for-profit, safety-in-dementia-care organisation, we would like to bring to your attention a matter of critical importance – the need for choice-based safety monitoring in dementia communities across the country. As you are aware, dementia presents unique challenges for individuals, their families and care providers and ensuring the safety and well-being of residents in these communities is paramount.

Our campaign advocates for the implementation of choice-based safety monitoring systems, which allow families to install overt cameras in their loved ones’ living spaces instead of feeling forced to place in hidden cameras. These overt systems provide transparency, accountability, and peace of mind for families while respecting residents’ dignity and autonomy. We firmly believe that residents and families (next of kin status and lasting power of attorney on health and and wellbeing) should have the right to make informed decisions about the care and safety of their relatives, especially in situations where communication may be limited due to dementia.

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is pleased to inform you that our efforts have garnered support from leading care providers who recognise the importance of choice-based safety monitoring in enhancing the quality of care and safeguarding vulnerable residents’ rights. Through collaborative efforts with care providers, we are working towards implementing these systems across dementia communities, prioritising the safety and well-being of residents above all else.

However, to fully realise our objectives and ensure widespread adoption of choice-based safety monitoring, we urgently need government support and legislation to enable families to install overt cameras in dementia communities. Currently, existing laws and regulations may hinder families’ ability to make informed choices about safety monitoring, leaving them feeling powerless and vulnerable.

We therefore call upon the government to enact legislation that empowers families to exercise their right to choice-based safety monitoring in dementia communities. By providing a legal framework that respects the rights of both residents and their families, we can create a safer and more transparent care environment that prioritises dignity, autonomy, and accountability.

In conclusion, Prime Minister, we urge you to consider our plea for choice-based safety monitoring in dementia communities and to take swift action to support our campaign. Together, we can ensure that individuals living with dementia receive the care, safety and protection they deserve, while respecting the rights and wishes of their families.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Care Campaign for the Vulnerable
