She has been undercover in over 300 UK care homes.    Her work with BBC Panorama "Behind Closed Doors: Elderly Care Exposed" led to 3 abusers being jailed, and she has carried out joint investigations with Heather Mills of Private Eye into how the Care Quality Commission and care home owners mislead the public.  Her report CQC An Ongoing Concern exposed the care home re-registration scam.  Eileen’s submission to the Law Commission consultation on Misconduct In Public Office is Should We Abolish Accountability?, and in Reality (CCTV) Check she sets out the evidence that CCTV in care homes does not improve care.The book "Beyond The Facade" is Eileen’s moving account of the Bupa7 case.
