The Care Inspectorate supports this right. There are standards, guidance and legislation that support this right, too.

Podcasts

We have been working hard behind the scenes for some months now to learn the way of podcasting. We’ve now launched our very first box set of episodes - all about the Visiting, Meaningful Connection and Anne’s Law project.

The Anne’s Law project advisers have spoken with real-life people about real-life stories that will resonate with all of us. People like Jenny, manager at Glennie House; Ken, a care home resident; Natasha, the daughter of Anne, who Anne’s Law is named for; professionals from across the sector and many more. Packed with insightful, thought-provoking ideas and tips to stay connected with your loved ones, these podcasts have something for everyone.

Listen anywhere, anytime to the episodes that interest you. Listen on Spotify, Amazon Music, Google or wherever you get your podcasts. Alternatively, you can listen on our website.
