| Annotation | Former care worker Eileen Chubb has spent the last fifteen years fighting abuse in care homes for older people, a fight that is by no means over. This article describes her experiences (and that of some other colleagues) working as care assistants at Isard House, a residential home in Bromley, where they witnessed and reported examples of residents being abused. The difficulties of whistleblowing and going to employment tribunals are highlighted. Reulting from her experience led to Eileen Chubb to set up the charity Compassion in Care, and to write 'Beyond the facade' (Chipmunka Publishing, 2008). (RH). |
