Getting Help from Social Services for Your Client - A Live Guide with Caroline Bielanska

Introduction

For clients who run out of money to fund their care, they will need to turn to the local authority's social services department for support.

This is not simply dependent on having limited resources, but also having sufficient needs to meet the eligibility criteria.

This new virtual classroom seminar will consider how to successfully obtain support from social services to meet the adults needs.

It is suitable for fee earners who advise vulnerable adults, their family, attorney, or deputy.
