Getting the Right Support from Your Local Authority
|
HFT has produced a guide to the Care Act 2014 and other laws, for family carers of an adult with learning disabilities and/or autism. The pack speaks about the most relevant laws, policies and resources to help strengthen cases when communicating with local authorities.
The main focus of the guide is on the Care Act 2014 (and the accompanying Care and Support Statutory Guidance) and how it can be used to support family carers in conversations with their local authority. HFT has also included a section that outlines the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. They have given examples throughout of how these laws can be used in practice, and they have referenced links to useful resources.
You can download a copy of the guide HERE or telephone HFT on: 0808 801 0448 to request a printed copy.
