" CRB check is not worth the paper it is written on really, for it only give a picture of the undetected crimes... I so agree | |||

"Until the system rewards those that are prepared to spill the beans, it will stay the same. Whistleblowers are likened to grasses in some quarters and those blowing the whistle usually end up getting treated very unfairly. As i was. But i wasnt one for lying back and taking crap off anyone when i was in the right. The powers that be realised this to their cost. " tbh tho even if i lost my job over reporting someone i would not care because these are ppl that may not be able to voice about what is going on, and i think ppl who stand back and let them do it are just as bad as the abusers! | |||

"I cant understand anyone wanting to work in that role if they dont have a caring and compassionate nature. Working with learning disability can be immensely rewarding, it is a challenging role, but those people who are good at it and loved by the people who care for them. Theres always the bad workers in every profession but when vulnerable people, elderly, children, disabled, are abused, its heartbreaking " thats exactly how i feel if you cant deal with being a carer to someone why do the job?!?! i have a really good relationship with the ppl i care with and would fight tooth and nail for them to have the best and treat them how i would want to be treated | |||

"With more and more private homes etc, the problem will only get worse. They employ young untrained staff and pay very little. No training or if training, only basic. I had 4 years training plus ongoing all the time. Also medical because i administered toxic drugs. The training by social services is second to none. By the private sector its very lax to say the least. Pay peanuts and you get monkeys,,,nasty ones. And those doing as just a job and not a carreer choice. " Fully agree. | |||

" i became a carer in a private nursing home at 18, did a common induction standard within 4 weeks which was all about basic training, the homes policies and procedures and legislation if that wasnt completed by every member of staff the trial period was over. After that i went on to achieve NVQ2 within 6 months and then followed by NVQ3. Im not a nurse however one day would love to be working in mental health. I dont think age has anything to do with how carers treat their clients. | |||

Oh god stay away from mental health it sends you nuts... I am a trained mental health worker and took a career change last year after 7 years." I worked in an EMI unit and did a few courses regarding mental health, found it fascinating. Within the team we had regular contact with CPN's so we fully understood why clients were on various controlled drugs as a form of sedation. It upsets me when we only ever hear of the bad cases of health care what about all the good that goes on? I loved the Nursing home i worked in. | |||

The governement thank us by taking our jobs away and cut our funding so they can fund their expenses. The money is crap and the abuse is everyday.. Why do I do it? Because it was the job I was born to do.. | |||

"There should be some sort of register like they have for sex offenders. People on the register should not be allowed to work in care fields simples not ony in chidrens home but those who abuse the elderly too." There are 2 ,1 is the POVA Protection of vunerable adults the other is The protection of childrens act 1999 both of which means that if you are put on list of either for anything to do with abuse or mistreatment of adults or children you can not then work with either . | |||

"I think it does take a certain type of person to be a carer and truly believe that not everyone can do it. What does annoy me is people who think its easy work, then realise its demanding and at the end of a 12hour shift sometimes you just want to scream. They then bitch about the wages being so rubbish. My view is that they new the pay when they applied for the job. I do realise we all need money to live, however the care sector you definitely need quality staff who love (or at least like it) what they do, makes working in a team so much easier and less stressful. Bad staff who dont want to be there will never work to full potential and decent quality " I remember my first job it was min wage we were given a flat by the company it was a 10 month contract in a hostel in central London working on a shift rota basis but omg I loved the job. I met some great and not so great residents but each had a story to tell. I can remember to this day this guy in this 30's he was an alcoholic and had M/H issues he wanted to get off drink to treat his M/H in the end it was too much and I found him hanging in his room.. I will never forget that. It was him that made me think I have to be the best worker I can be as I don't ever want to find someone hanging again.. | |||

" minimum wage when i started too was £5.05 then went up by 20p when i achieved NVQ2.. Loved all the stories people had to tell, all their ornaments and pictures had more stories attatched to them. Music was important to them too. Heart breaking to see so many pictures of relatives and friends and yet they would rarely get visits. | |||

Some just was not bothered.. | |||

It is sad but sometimes the family did want to see them but the guys did not want to they spent years trying to blot what issues they may had at home and did not want to confront the issues.. We live in a world now where drugs are on every street corner and booze in every shop and with the binge drinking on the rise. It is heart breaking but I have become cold in my thinking not because i don't care but because I have to look after my own mental health as well.. | |||

"it is a very mentally draining job but so rewarding, i think my problem is i care too much and i put myself in the position of running myself into the ground but cant help it when i see the residents happy" im with you on that. i stopped working a year and a half ago and the break has been amazing. made me realise how close i got to people. death surprisingly didnt effect me though, was alright with it. knowing that person was free from pain, they look so peaceful and its like their wrinkles and creases fade away and return to a youthful state. | |||
