Care Rights UK

Who we are

Care Rights UK is the charity focused on defending the rights of people in care.

We want people to know their rights and how to use them. We offer information, advice and support to empower people using care services and their relatives and friends.

As a community of families and experts, we have joined forces to fight for better lives for people in care. We challenge poor care, highlight good practice and demand a better care system.

Our culture and values

Our vision:

The best quality of life for older people needing care.

Our values

Well-informed:

We value knowledge, particularly from people’s every day experiences of care and support services. We are trusted for our expertise on care and rights, and for our integrity.

Independent:

We’re proud of our independence. It gives us the freedom to speak out, adapt to changing circumstances and work with others to make care services better.

Courageous:

We fight for change where it’s needed so that people who need care and support have their rights respected.

Empowering:

We value each other and are more powerful together. We listen and we support one another. Our community makes us stronger.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We value equality and diversity. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, disability, or carer status.
