Social Services
Cases involving Social Services usually tend to be quite complex. The common problems encountered usually relate to resources being provided which are insufficient to meet the individual's needs or are too late in being delivered. It is also common to receive inappropriate advice of the resources and facilities available.

Help with dealing with Social Services
Quite often Social Service departments do not completely understand the nature or the Child or young persons learning difficulties and special educational needs (England) or additional learning needs (Wales).
I can assist with assessments under the Children Act 1989 in relation to assessing your child's disability and the provision of social care resources (including direct payments) to secure services.
I can assist in these matters through use of applications for assessment, complaints procedures, mediation, Judicial Review and Disability Discrimination Claims under the Equality Act 2010 against Social Services. I can also assist clients in the First-Tier Tribunal (HESC) and Education Tribunal for Wales where the provision required and needed is an educational provision (under the new wider definition of educational provision) and has been wrongly categorised.
