Hi,
I live in a residential home for people in late teens/early twenties. For the past few months the staff who work here have accused me of using cannabis on multiple occasions. I denied each time (which is the truth). Since the first time they have treated me with suspicion instead of care - have so many examples of when they've treated me like dirt, the changing point seems to be the first accusation of cannabis use. They've demanded that I open parcels in front of them etc.... And this morning I was accused again, apparently the corridor outside of room stinking of cannabis. I could not smell it neither could other 'housemates'. I am the only resident who is accused. Today I sort of reached my limit with the false accusations. I asked them if they were so certain why they haven't called the police as cannabis is illegal. They inform me the police are already aware I have been using cannabis and that I am upsetting other housemates who may have a history of drug use. I am extremely distressed and angry.Not only are the accusations false but it is affecting the care here to a bad level.
Not sure what my rights are or if I can do anything about this? Are they breaking any laws/protocols? Are the police allowed to search my room on their request?
Thank you so much.
