→Addressing Systemic Concerns: BC Seniors Advocate
The Seniors Advocate Act provides a notable safeguard for residents in care facilities, their families and advocates in that the law specifically offers a protection from retaliation for people who provide information to the Seniors Advocate. ([[{{PAGENAME}}#References|48]])However the Seniors Advocate Act does not identify penalties or repercussions if a person or organization contravened the protections from retaliation.
Like the BC Ombudsperson, the Seniors Advocate is limited by law to making recommendations to government, which public bodies may or may not act on.
