The Law is on your side. Learn how to use it.
Your organisation depends on the care it can secure for the people you support.
When the law isn’t applied correctly, by local authorities, by commissioners, by care managers, it costs people their rights, their dignity wellbeing and often their funding.
This intensive half-day session gives senior leadership teams the legal knowledge and practical tools to identify unlawful practice, challenge decisions with confidence, and use the Care Act 2014 to secure the support your clients are entitled to.

Why this matters to your organisation
The law is on your side. Do you know how to use it?
Social care law is complex. Local authority practice is inconsistent. And the consequences for the people you support, when assessments are wrong, when funding falls short, when rights go unenforced - are real.
Senior leaders who understand the Care Act in depth don’t just avoid legal risk. They use the law as a tool, to advocate effectively, to challenge unlawful decisions, and to secure the support their clients need and deserve.
What your team will come away with:
A confident, up-to-date understanding of the Care Act 2014 and how it applies in practice
The ability to identify and challenge unlawful practice by local authorities
Practical tools for problem-solving with the law, applied to your organisation’s actual situations
Legal strategies to secure sufficient personal budgets and funding for the people you support
Greater confidence advocating for the rights, choice, and dignity of those in your care

Who is this for?
Designed for senior leaders in social care provider organisations.
This session is for CEOs, Directors, and senior operations leaders at social care provider organisations. It is designed for people who carry strategic responsibility for the quality of care delivered and the sustainability of their organisation, and who need legal knowledge to do that job well.
A maximum of eight leaders from the same organisation can attend each session. This means the conversation is focused, relevant, and built around your context, not a generic cohort.
