Safeguarding concerns in care law cover cases where the welfare of a vulnerable adult or child is at risk from abuse, neglect or harm, and agencies must act to investigate and protect. A solicitor in this area helps with reporting concerns, liaising with local authorities, safeguarding boards and care providers, and advising on assessments, information sharing, and protective measures under the Care Act 2014 and related guidance. They also handle applications and representations in any legal process that affects the person’s safety and rights, including court or tribunal involvement when necessary.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor navigates statutory safeguarding duties, eligibility assessments, safeguarding plans, and potential interventions by local authorities or safeguarding boards. They handle communications with care homes, NHS bodies, social workers, and, where needed, the Court of Protection or Children’s Services, ensuring legal protections are in place and risk is appropriately managed.
