Abuse in Care Home
Identify two reports on serious failures to protect individuals from abuse. Write an account that describes the unsafe practices in the reviews.
Below are 2 different accounts of abuse within hospitals and care homes. I will explain the alleged abuse against residents in their care. In the 1st Account I sourced the information from the following website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-14181646 The 2nd Account I sourced the information from the following website: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/west-midlands-police-probe-footage-5325705 /
Account 1:
On the 18th July 2011 a health watchdog had reported a `systemic failure to protect people ‘at a hospital where alleged abuse was secretly filmed by the BBC.
BBC Panorama secretly filmed patients that were being pinned down, slapped and taunted by the some staff members. Mr Terry Bryan contacted the BBC after his concerns he raised were not followed up by the home`s management or the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The CQC were ordered to review the Winterbourne View Hospital after the Panorama Programme.
The report on Winterbourne View had found that the owners Castlebeck Care had indeed failed to protect its resident that was living at the home. They found that they were not adequately protected from harm including the risks of unsafe practices by its own staff. The owners had failed in its legal duty to notify the CQC regarding the serious incidents which included injuries to patients or on occasions when they had gone missing.
Panorama filmed for five weeks and during that time they filmed some of the hospitals most vulnerable patients being repeatedly pinned down, slapped, dragged into the showers whilst being fully clothed, they were taunted and teased. An ex employee of Castlebeck Care, a senior nurse reported his concerns to his managers. When his reports were ignored by his managers he then contacted the CQC three times, Even using the word `Abuse` they too ignored
