| Annotation | The purpose of this paper was to explore care home providers' public communications covering their commitments to respecting residents' human rights. The discussion considered the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and a domestic legal and regulatory human rights framework. A qualitative content analysis was undertaken of 70 websites of England's largest commercial care home providers during 2017. There were found to be strong value-based public commitments in the websites of many English care home providers, which may or may not be interpreted as expressing their commitments to human rights. Research was limited to websites which were public facing and marketing tools of care home providers. It did not provide inferences regarding the practical implementation of value-based statements or human rights based procedures or policies. There is a need for clarification and debate about the potential role and added value of the corporate responsibility to respect human rights and the UNGPs' operating principles within the English residential care sector. Further exploration of the relationship between personalisation/person-centred care and human rights might be useful. (JL). |
