I care for a 55 year old man who has special needs and disabilities. Recently I noticed a charity relevant to one of his disabilities on Facebook offering to give a useful resource to someone in need of one. You had to nominate someone. So I did and was asked to tell the charity about the person I care for. I detailed his situation and how this resource would be used and enjoyed. I was contacted a week later to say my client had been picked to receive the resource. I told his family who were over the moon. I explained how I’d only given his first name so far in and wanted their permission to give more details like address. They agreed to the address. I have arranged to meet the charity representative on Saturday at my clients house for them to handover the resource. The charity have asked if they can take photos of the presentation. I don’t think it’s a good idea as this person is quite vulnerable but I left it to the family to decide and they don’t want photos of their relative on Facebook with details of his disability etc. I emailed the charity who were not happy but said they would respect their wishes. Now I feel uncomfortable about the whole thing. The charity said they like to share photos to show those who have raised money what the money is being spent on. Surely they should understand the need to protect the identities of vulnerable people and preserve their dignity. I’ve offered to write a detailed description of how my clients life will be improved by their generous donation. It feels like it comes with conditions.
