The proposed Charter is based on the original Chartist Movements' demands and is essentially about the human rights of a much abused section of the community. I hope that it can be kept flexible and amendable over time, as circumstances dictate.
Certainly, I think that carers who work less than a full week should be included. The principle is pay for work undertaken, as opposed to an allowance as a token gesture.
I will incorporate the additions proposed into an updated version, after others have been given a chance to contribute their ideas.

To tie in with Health and safety. can we say something about the right to 'immediate' assessment by an OT for equipment needs and training to use any equipment or manual handling training. To take place before social worker assessment of needs perhaps? So that OT assessment can be taken into account. In the area where i live 'priority' can mean you wait for up to a year for essential equipment.
