Everyone is welcome to join us in the event which considers the findings following the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s recent inquiry on home care.

Nearly 500,000 older people receive essential care in their own home paid wholly or partly by their local authority. In November 2011, the Equality and Human Rights Commission published its findings into the care they receive - the first inquiry of its kind. They found hundreds of thousands of older people lack protection under the Human Rights Act.

Who is it for?

• This event is for those in local authorities who commission home care for older people
• private and voluntary sector organisations providing home care
• voluntary organisations with an interest in empowering older people to know their rights
• anyone who would like to know more about human rights and home care.
