One of LAG's most popular courses, Community Care Law Update will cover all the main developments in community care law in the last 12 months and is ideally suited to practitioners working in the health, social care and mental health fields.
The course:
* Considers not only the effectiveness of the Care Act 2014 in reforming adult social
care law over 1 year on, but also developments of a lower profile but nonetheless of importance to community care practitioners such as the availability of personal health budgets and the recent spate of judicial review cases dealing with accessing NHS treatments.
* Reviews the most significant judgments in the Court of Protection and consider how the Care Act 2014 can act as a 'gateway' to the welfare jurisdiction of the Court of Protection.
* Covers key developments in the field of migrant support law, including the important changes being brought in under the Immigration Act 2016 affecting care leavers and migrant families, as well as how the right to rent impacts on these support provisions. It will also provide a review of court decisions on accommodation for migrant families as well as an update on healthcare rights for migrants.
* Considers key legal developments and relevant case-law from 2016 under the
Children Acts 1989 and 2004, and the Children and Families Act 2014, in relation to children with disabilities.
