Greater Manchester Police have confirmed they have secured charges against a support worker and a nurse at a mental health unit in Prestwich.
The pair, who had been employed at The Edenfield Centre, have been charged following an investigation which was launched by officers back in 2022.
Support worker Sheryl Price (24/07/1980) of Eldergreen Close, Bolton has been charged with 14 counts of ill-treatment against four victims.
Nurse Sara Coleman (10/11/1982) of Mitford Street, Streftord has been charged with five counts of ill-treatment against four victims.
They have both been bailed ahead of a scheduled appearance at Manchester Magistrates Court on Wednesday 25 March 2026.
Detective Inspector Julie Adams from the Bury district said: “Since 2022, we have been actively investigating several allegations relating to the The Edenfield Centre, following a period of undercover filing at the mental health unit.
“We have now charged two suspects in relation to this, and they will appear at Court in the new year.
“Since this incident was brought to our attention, we have been working with partner agencies to ensure that patients were safeguarded and to investigate criminality.
Anyone who has concerns about care they or a loved one has received should contact us or Crimestoppers.”
