The reason the covert cameras were installed was not to stop any abuse, how could they? They were covert, the abusers didn't know they were there. The reason they were installed was because abuse/neglect was suspected and like Margaret says, going through "official channels" takes time.
The cameras were installed to check whether any abuse/neglect was taking place and if it was found to be so, to prove who was doing what.
I accept that but if overt cameras had been installed there would have been no need for covert ones.
How many covert cameras are installed in the rooms of those in care, without the individual's consent and without the knowledge of employees.
It's all very well saying, "ahh but look at the abuse they have substantiated", what of all the others where the rights of both residents and staff have been breached.
As asked previously, would you approve of covert cameras in the bedrooms of a care home for children/adolescents without the knowledge or consent of the children?
