This work covers assessing an individual’s care and support needs under the care framework in England, typically following a safeguarding or welfare concern. A solicitor in this area helps gather evidence, coordinate with the local authority, and challenge or clarify decisions about eligibility for care and support, including what services should be provided and how they are funded. It often leads to a formal care and support plan outlining the help the person will receive.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor gathers medical and social evidence, explains eligibility criteria under the Care Act 2014, communicates with the local authority, and may prepare representations or second opinions if an assessment or plan seems inappropriate. They navigate the assessment process, potential appeals, and the drafting or revision of care plans to secure appropriate support and safeguard the client’s interests.
