Community Care Law covers a wide range of issues.
What is Community Care Law?
Community Care Law usually involves challenging the decision of a public body such as a Local Authority or Health Trust, and we use the most appropriate form of challenge in each case.
This could mean that we use internal complaints procedures or appeals, or the Public Law challenge of Judicial Review as a remedy. You can find out more about public law challenges on our Public Law pages.
Here are some of the legal issues our specialist Community Care Law team may be able to help you with:
- Getting appropriate home care services to help a person with disabilities/care needs remain independent
