My son used to tell me some terrible stories when he worked in the care sector not that long ago.

It really is a worry. The local council are responsible for renewing licenses for care companies, but I'm not sure there's that much monitoring going on.

He left because he found it impossible to provide the safe care people needed.

I'm surprised there's is so little awareness of how bad things are.
