Petition Amend Housing Act 1988 to stop care home owners banning restricting and evicting

Your Voice Matters was set up after I was unfairly banned from a care home http://www.yourvoicematters.org.uk/rights2speakup4care Providers possess the powers of a landlord. They can ban, restrict loved ones (or any professional) and evict residents; PRIVATE paying residents have no protection.

More details

The Care Act 2014 alleges residents fully or partially funded and placed by L.A.'s are protected under the Human Rights Act 1998, unlike self-funders. CQC guidelines (2/11/16) purport that residents are protected under Article 8 BUT the Housing Act 1988 provides ultimate powers for providers to ban, restrict and evict; some instigate malicious falsehood and staff will support as fearful of reprisals. For this reason The Housing Act 1988 needs amending. www.yourvoicematters.org.uk
