Gloria’s Law

Pledge your support for a new legal right to a Care Supporter

Too often, the rights of people in care are up for grabs.

Many of our supporters were denied involvement in decisions about their loved ones' care or were unable to be present during the pandemic. The lasting trauma from this fuels the overwhelming support we have received for this campaign.

Although the pandemic has subsided, we still hear from individuals every day who are kept out of their loved ones’ health and social care decisions when their support is most needed.

Add your voice by taking our pledge.

Let’s make sure the Government commits this crucial right to law.

'Like Ruthie I am also living with that nightmare experience. My gentle and generous Dad died within a few months, without our love, support and advocacy. He was isolated and neglected in an understaffed, under-resourced care home and the family had no power to alleviate his suffering. Not even the CQC could check what was going on. It was inhuman and intolerable.'
'This law is extremely important. We need legislation to protect people from the extreme neglect that was carried out in the name of 'protecting them from dying' during the Covid pandemic. We have hopefully learned that life is about more than just 'not dying'!'
'Lack of family contact contributed to my mother's decline and eventual death during the Covid pandemic.'
'We are haunted by the impact of the restrictions families faced and are appalled that in some care homes these are still continuing. Never again!'
'I am signing for my Mum who was deprived of months of contact with us during the pandemic, which meant that we could not make the most of her final years. It was so cruel, especially when it continued once vaccinations came in.'
‘It is a sad state of affairs when we have to campaign for a Law which should be a basic Human Right. I can’t see how anyone can disagree. There should be no hold up to making this Law, but the fact that there is, is a sad indictment on the Government of this Country.’
‘I will never forget the horror and emotional turmoil I felt at not being allowed to see my husband during lockdown.Because he had Alzheimer’s , I’m sure he felt I had abandoned him. He died two weeks ago and I am truly bereft, but my grief is made much worse by reliving those weeks and months of us being separated, and of my anger at constantly being refused entry into the care home. Months spent phoning and writing to care providers, the CQC and MPs, begging to see my husband, all to no avail.’
