Community care work covers social care services provided or arranged by local authorities for adults and families to meet assessed needs, including care at home, residential and supported accommodation, safeguarding, and appeals about eligibility and funding. A solicitor in this area handles assessments, safeguarding investigations, deprivation of liberty safeguards, housing support, and disputes over charging or de-enabling consent, often working with health bodies and the courts. They guide clients through plans, disputes, and applications under the Care Act 2014 and related legislation.
The solicitor handles the interplay of the Care Act duties, eligibility criteria, safeguarding investigations, and funding challenges, including statutory assessments, care plans, and potential deprivation of liberty safeguards.
