Care Act Conversations with CASCAIDr

About Care Act Conversations with CASCAIDr

Please note CASCAIDr is no longer operating as a charity. Care Act Conversations offers clear, understandable information for people who are grappling with the adult social care system, and for advocates, advisors and decision makers. Our first podcasts are on getting the Care Act process right from assessment through to care and on making sense of hospital discharge. Each episode, we give an overview of the law around an important area of social care law, explore some of the common issues and how to avoid them, and provide advice on what to do if you think something unlawful is happening.

   Care Act processes, meeting eligible needs, direct payments and mental health s117 aftercare

   Community Care law faces the double challenge of insufficient resource to deliver duties and lack of legal aid to make challenges. CASCAIDr is currently fundraising through Crowd Justice to co-fund a suite of publicly available barristers' opinions on four of the most essential areas of law. In this episode we highlight issues in these areas: Care Act processes, meeting eligible needs, direct payments and mental health s117 aftercare. We give some pointers about how you can question these issues if they come up for you.
