Cuts are putting care under “stress and strain” and carers’ efforts are being undermined, the chief inspector of adult social care in England has said.
Andrea Sutcliffe told the Observer many carers ended up being “the sort of care worker you wouldn’t want them to be”.
There were 30,000 allegations of abuse of people using social care services in the first six months of this year, according to the newspaper.
The Department of Health said it was determined to “stamp out” abuse.
