This area covers when local authorities reduce, withdraw, or alter community-based care and support services for adults or carers. It includes challenging decisions about eligibility, level of need, and the ongoing provision of services such as home care, day care, and community support. A solicitor in this field reviews the authority’s assessments, helps clients appeal or request reconsideration, and represents them in disputes or negotiations with the local council and, where relevant, the NHS. The process can be shaped by safeguarding concerns, care assessments, and funding constraints that affect service continuation.
Key issues include identifying lawful bases for withdrawal or variation, ensuring protection of the client's rights under the Care Act 2014 (or equivalent Welsh law), and managing deadlines for reviews or appeals. The solicitor will draft or challenge care plans, discuss options for alternative support, and coordinate with health and social care professionals to secure a fair outcome while navigating local authority procedures.
