Challenging Social Services Decisions

People with long term care needs are often reliant on their local social services departments to provide care for them, either in their own home or in care homes.

Local social services departments are under increasing pressure to make difficult decisions about the allocation of their limited resources.  The procedures for making such decisions are often complicated and sometimes social services departments make the wrong decisions.

Individuals who disagree with the hours of care they have been awarded, the level of direct payments they receive, or the type of care being provided can challenge these decisions.

Our expert lawyers can advise you on your human rights and assist you in resolving a dispute, maximising your entitlement to care or challenging any decision to refuse care.
