Home care and human rights

The Equality & Human Rights Commission has launched a guide for older people, their families and friends, 'Your home care and human rights', which deals with reasonable expectations that older people can have about the home care they receive, their legal rights when using home care and what action older people, their families and friends can take if they are not satisfied with the home care they or their loved ones are provided with. The aim of the guide to raise awareness amongst older people of their entitlement to home care service which respects their human rights and what they can do to ensure those rights are not violated. The report is available on the Commission's website.
