The study concludes that, utilised affectively and appropriately, there may be
benefits to the use of CCTV in the adult safeguarding process. There is a need
for continued, focused research in the area as, while concerns, particularly in the
area of ethics exist, there appears to be a trend among academics supporting
the advantages of the use of CCTV as a general practice. Paradox is presented,
as wide spread, in-depth research on any potential benefits cannot be
conducted without first introducing CCTV to care homes.
