I work as a Carer for a gentleman with CP, he is wheelchair bound and has care throughout the weekend and through the night, during the week he attends day centers in the day and carers from 4pm till the following morning. I am employed by him also 3 other carers, I have been here 8 years and the job is in the employers home, a two bed flat, one is the gentlemans room and the other is for the Carer at night and on breaks. With shifts lasting 22 hours, you would eat, sleep, wash, change, shower etc.
but I have just seen something I believe I wasn't supposed too, on walking past my employers lap top I noticed myself on a small screen from a different angle and several other boxes filming other rooms and angles within his flat, MY WORK PLACE! I'm shocked? Firstly because I undress in the carers room, and feel a massive intrusion and loss of trust? Should the staff have been informed? I don't know which rooms are covered and even if I can ask? I feel really awkward and some what disgusted? Please please could someone advise, I was under the impression cameras should be visible and employers should at least know they are not being filmed during personal things? Or is there some special rules for caring within a persons home???
