Our purpose
Too many people living in care don’t get their needs met, or their rights protected.
Our purpose
Care Rights UK is your care champion, the charity focused on defending the rights of people in care.
We want people to know their rights and how to use them. We offer information, advice and support to empower people using care services and their relatives and friends.
As a community of families and experts, we have joined forces to fight for better lives for people in care. We challenge poor care, highlight good practice and demand a better care system.
Our vision
The best quality of life for older people needing care.
Our values
Well-informed
We value knowledge, particularly from people’s every day experiences of care and support services. We are trusted for our expertise on care and rights, and for our integrity.
Independent
We’re proud of our independence. It gives us the freedom to speak out, adapt to changing circumstances and work with others to make care services better.
Courageous
We fight for change where it’s needed so that people who need care and support have their rights respected.
Empowering
We value each other and are more powerful together. We listen and we support one another. Our community makes us stronger.
