CareShield is a digital platform built specifically for UK health and care workers — to help them document workplace incidents, understand their legal rights, and build a legally admissible evidence trail before they need a solicitor.
Every year, tens of thousands of UK health and care workers experience workplace assault, harassment, discrimination, and unsafe working conditions. Many never report it. Those who do often find that without contemporaneous evidence — a record made close to the time of the incident — their case is difficult to prove.
Employment tribunals, CICA claims, and regulatory complaints all rely on documented evidence. Yet most care workers have nowhere safe, private, and legally credible to keep that record. Incident report forms belong to employers. Personal diaries have no timestamp verification. WhatsApp messages get deleted.
CareShield exists to change that.
Log workplace incidents using the NHS and CQC standard 8-section format — the same format recognised by employment tribunals, CICA, and regulatory bodies.
Upload photos, documents, medical reports, and correspondence. Each file is SHA-256 hashed — creating tamper-evident, legally admissible evidence.
Ask plain-English questions about your workplace rights. Get cited answers drawn from real UK legislation — ERA 1996, PIDA 1998, Equality Act 2010, and more.
A private, encrypted daily diary to track how work is affecting your mental health. Completely confidential — no staff, no managers, no one else can read it.
Generate court-ready PDF packs combining your incident report, evidence files, and timeline — formatted to the standard expected by employment tribunals and solicitors.
CareShield is built by HWProtect — a UK technology company focused on building tools that protect workers in the health and care sector.
We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. CareShield is a documentation and information tool — we help workers build the record and understand the law, so that when they do speak to a solicitor or union representative, they arrive prepared.
We believe every care worker deserves the same access to legal protection as the institutions they work for. CareShield is our contribution to making that real.
