Yesterday’s Panorama On Abuse Of Disabled People: A Few Reactions
June 1, 2011
Last night, I watched the last few minutes of the Panorama programme on the abuse of disabled people in a care home, Winterbourne View. I am so far too upset by it to watch the whole thing. But there have been a few reactions which are worth linking to here.
- This article by Keith Smith, chief executive of Bild, the British Institute of Learning Disabilities, on the Guardian‘s Joe Public blog today.
- This article from BBC News, saying that four people have been arrested after the programme.
- This video of Panorama’s Paul Kenyon and undercover reporter Joe Casey speaking to BBC Breakfast this morning.
- A statement by Castlebeck, the owners of Winterbourne View, to Panorama.
- Mencap respond to the programme.
- Scope respond to the programme.
- And this is a list of useful links for people affected by the programme.
