Annotation | Electronic tagging to keep track of older people with dementia is just part of the trend towards more technologically-based care environments. Is tagging and similar developments a threat to more human approaches, or do they offer better options to more restrictive regimes? This article discusses issues and arguments put forward in `Tagging: a technology for care services?' by Catherine Bewley, and published as a Briefing paper by Values Into Action (VIA, 1998). (RH). |
