The safety, security and privacy of our residents is absolutely paramount and we do everything in our power to protect our residents and stay compliant with the law.
Historically it was acceptable practice for us to upload photographs of residents enjoying our various activities with their or their family’s consent. However the taking of photographs of people who cannot provide informed consent is now considered to be unethical and we will from now on be concealing the identity of our residents unless they have capacity to provide us with informed consent.
Please speak to any Registered Manager at Cannon Care Homes Limited or the Care Quality Commission if you would like any further information.
