Law firms ranked by client reviews
This area covers how local authorities assess and plan for an adult’s or child’s care needs, support, and funding within the English social care system. A solicitor practising here helps gather information, engage with the local authority, check eligibility, and prepare or respond to assessments and care plans under the Care Act 2014. They advise on rights to an assessment, support services, and how to challenge decisions where appropriate, including safeguarding considerations and eligibility for funded care.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Assessments hinge on complex criteria in the Care Act 2014 and related regulations. A solicitor helps prepare and submit information, challenge inappropriate refusals, and navigate appeals or reviews; they also work with social workers, housing or welfare teams, and, if needed, health professionals to secure appropriate support and funding and to ensure plans meet the client’s practical and practical safety needs.
