'Let me see my aunty': Call for new law after learning disabled people cut off from loved ones

More than a hundred charities have called for ‘urgent’ law change to protect the right of disabled people in care to see their loved ones.

It comes as an ITV News investigation finds more families of people with learning disabilities are claiming their visiting rights were restricted after complaining about negligent care.

Jade’s, not her real name, niece lives alone in a supported living house with 2:1 care support.

Jade says her visits with her niece were restricted after she raised concerns about her care, including unexplained cuts and bruises. #care #socialcare #uk
