  • The Dark Reality of Care Facilities

    “Society at large doesn’t think a huge amount about carers, until they need carers.” Carers are the backbone of the social welfare system, providing mental, physical and emotional assistance to extremely vulnerable people, such as those with dementia or severe autism. They’re often paid minimum wage to face excrement, physical resistance and even death on a regular basis, with little emotional support. In this episode of Informer, we meet a former carer who explains how a lack of funding and major understaffing fails everyone, and leaves the industry open to abuse.

In this episode of Informer, we speak to a former employee of the Church of Scientology, who was pressured into signing a work contract, had his passport taken off him, and regularly worked 80 hour weeks to earn under £5,000 a year.
