GMB to consult members in HC-One care homes
The GMB union is to consult 6,000 members in 227 HC-One care homes, including Oakland on Bury Road, Rochdale, over CCTV cameras in all care homes.
Cameras in care homes is a highly emotive subject which provokes understandably strong views and such a big step requires very careful consideration, says GMB.
GMB, the union for staff at HC-One, the third largest care home provider in Britain, commented on the announcement that it is to carry out a consultation on installing visible CCTV cameras in all of its care homes.
Justin Bowden, GMB National Officer for the care sector, said “Cameras in care homes is a highly emotive subject which provokes understandably strong views and such a big step requires very careful consideration.
HC-One is wise to be approaching this with caution and as part of a wide scale consultation.
GMB will be talking to our 6,000 members in 227 HC-One care homes - the experts in providing care to the vulnerable and elderly - and seeking their views.”
