The Care Workers’ Charity
I’ve seen too many attacks on carers in my 20 years in this industry, but it is still an industry that I love. I support the #Every30Minutes campaign because I want to see an end to the levels of violence against care workers.

Who are we?
We help keep carers safe through our staff safety software and our 24/7 emergency response system.
We started this campaign because we wanted to start a discussion around workplace violence, as we felt it was too big of an issue to be ignored.
