Please sign the petition for Human Rights to apply in Private Care Homes. This is a very importnat issue - there are only 50 signatures on this petition so far, but the deadline is 21st February 2008.

It is criminal that our government is not protecting our most vulnerable elderly people, and you or I may have to live in a private care home ourselves one day. Who will protect you then if you have no Human Rights the minute you cross the threshold?

Thank you.

Hi, I am interested in signing but would like to know a bit more about the website first.  If it can be sent all your email contacts (and hence they will in turn send it on) you might have more luck in getting the numbers needed.

Hi Snowgoose, i shall put your e-petition on my own national carers forum, i shall try and get some more numbers to sign it for you.
