Introduction

This practical and tactical in-person masterclass is designed for professional deputy and private client law teams who have a working knowledge of the health and social care funding systems and want to know how to run successful public law challenges that make a difference for their clients.

Presented by leading expert Cate Searle, Cate will use a workshop based approach with case studies reflecting your everyday practice to enhance your confidence in public law principles, leaving you keen to rush back to the office and write your most dynamic challenge letter on ‘that case’ which has been causing you so much frustration.

The course notes will provide you with an incredibly detailed & helpful summary of all of the legislative and guidance background to quote from.

The full day interactive session will leave you equipped with everything you will ever need to know about paying for care.

  • Challenging misleading information or unlawful decisions from Health or Social Services, including blanket policies
  • Top-up issues for care homes and care at home and arbitrary caps on funding for care packages
  • Disputes involving needs v preferences, discretionary decisions and top tips for the most effective challenge letter
  • Lawful Health and Social Services assessment processes, including safe hospital discharge
