This guide is for family carers who want to know more about their rights. Its main focus 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.
Through their one-to-one support with family carers, the FCSS often speak with them about the most relevant laws, policies and resources to help strengthen their cases when communicating with local authorities. This guide brings all that information together in one place.
This is a great resource and very much needed so families have the right words and phrases from the legislation to get the support they need or to challenge processes and decisions.
commented a healthcare professional who used the Care Act resource.
