The agencies are still ringing the home helpers and having conversations with the workers while the carers are meant to be on duty. If the worker turns her ph off or onto silent one agency has a bad habit of ringing the clients private line.

Breach of privacy

this person is there to assist

Is NOT an Assessor, so has no right to anything other than her/his job!

insist on the phone being switched off and left on the phone table, or some highly visible place...

im most jobs, you are not allowed to be taking photos , chatting to all and sundry while working

so this is a deliberate ploy by acc to spy on the people they are supposed to help

and as you suggest camp Mother, if they do contine to chat on the phone/report in to acc while working at yours, video them....showing them NOT doing the job they are paid for......

I have showed our sister how to use her ph video cam to do this, thanks to your advice.
