Carers 'need mandatory LGBT training'

Carers 'need mandatory LGBT training' Carers looking after older people should be given statutory LGBT training to help tackle homophobia in the sector, the charity Stonewall has said.

Discrimination is "alive and kicking," with many older people fearing abuse from care workers, one man told the Victoria Derbyshire programme.

Currently, there is a code of conduct but all training is voluntary. The government said making training mandatory was not possible as care providers were private employers. BBC News
