Top News Story From Caring UK
July 2008 | Watchdog to carry out more robust checks
By Dominic Musgrave
A WATCHDOG is to be set up next year which will vet care staff and offer more robust checks on migrant workers.
The move follows concerns by senior police officers that thousands of migrants are working with vulnerable elderly people in care homes without undergoing full criminal record checks.
But Chris Webb Jenkins, head of social care at law firm Browne Jacobson, said the watchdog is unlikely to address the problem entirely - and that care home owners should put better measures in place.
He said: 'The UK care sector has suffered from chronic staff shortages for several years and overseas workers have helped to meet this need because it can be poorly paid arduous work."
