A Court of Protection solicitor explains the key care Care Act duties local authorities need to keep in mind to avoid challenge in an age of austerity
“Sharon has worked with my adult autisic son when both education and the local authority failed him. They refused an assessment and then said he was not eligible for services. With Sharon’s help, not only did they assess, but once further challenged, they offered services to him. We could never have done this alone and Sharon made the experience more bearable. Sharon was able to explain complex legal issues to him in such a way that he could understand. ”
“I am very grateful for the work carried out by Sharon Lamerton at Care or Not Ltd, for the guidance and knowledge, given in a friendly and understandable manner. Sharon targeted and identified where the relevant agency was lacking in their duty which resulted in a successful and speedy outcome. I cannot recommend her efficient, professional service highly enough in the area of special needs care provision. ”
