It's unacceptable to use a still of a carer abusing a resident...

...as the background to graphics on government funding of nursing care in care homes?

I watched the BBC Scotland news this evening, and during a report on government funding of nursing care for chronically ill residents in care homes they put up a graphic about this subject, and used a still from the recent programme about abuse in care homes - and worse still, it is the scene where a carer slapped a resident!

I did start an earlier thread about this, but with a less 'attention-grabbing' title.

AIBU to think this is not acceptable, and someone should have thought a bit harder about which stock photo they used?

Blimey, I wonder what sort of person would think a picture like that is appropriate to use

I've emailed them - so maybe we will find out!

They may have asked permission...

That's not the point I was making - I just thought it was a crushingly inappropriate background to use for graphics about care in care homes - a picture where a woman gets slapped by a carer!

As people have been arrested as a result of this documentary the image is presumably going to be evidence in a court case, so it is very definitely not suitable.
