Social work law is at the foundation of all social work practice, from shaping professional boundaries to determining the level of intervention. Every case is complex and unique and therefore requires different legal treatment; this means it is absolutely vital that social workers not only understand the law, but are able to critically analyse the legal framework and apply it to their practice. This book provides students and practitioners with an essential guide to adult social care law. It lays out the key case law, core legislation and the HSPCC standards as they apply to different areas of adult social care. This includes issues of capacity, making an assessment, supporting carers and working with vulnerable adults. Designed to support learning needs, the book is packed with engaging case studies and reflective exercises, as well as a legal toolbox to help simplify the legal jargon. Whether you are a student or practitioner, this is a practical, accessible guide to competent and lawful practice in adult social care.

Adult social care provides essential services such as residential care homes, community care, and protection for the most vulnerable adults in society: the elderly, disabled people and their carers. In this discussion paper The Law Commission proposes the most radical shake-up of adult social care law for more than 60 years. Overhauling the outdated laws that govern the care provided to elderly and disabled people will save unnecessary red tape, delays and litigation, and public money. A wide-ranging package of reform proposals includes clearer rights for the estimated six million carers who give up their time to look after elderly and disabled friends and relatives. The rules governing this area are currently spread across 38 separate Acts of Parliament and most services are still delivered under an Act of 1948. There is also a mass of policy guidance. This can cause confusion, delay and inconsistency. As a result, the existing system is time consuming and expensive to operate, leading to unnecessary delays and litigation. The Commission suggests a single, clear and modern statute to replace the current legal framework. Provisional proposals include: establishing a core set of overarching principles to guide social care decisions; introducing a single and explicit duty to assess individuals' needs; a duty on local authorities to provide community services for all those eligible; the introduction of a single duty to assess the needs of any carer; a statutory duty on local authorities to investigate when they suspect that vulnerable adults are being abused or neglected.

Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This book provides an in-depth socio-legal examination of adult social care law and policy during the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the tensions between legislation, policy, economy, and practice in what was already an under-resourced and overstretched sector. The authors interrogate the vision and utility of the Care Act 2014 and explore the impact of emergency legislation and operational changes implemented during the pandemic. Detailing what happened to social care provision during this time of intense stress and turbulence for people who draw on services, for informal carers, and for those who work in the sector, the book highlights fault-lines in the system. This is an invaluable resource offering timely lessons for social care reform and future pandemic preparedness planning.

This report on Adult Social Care recommends the most far-reaching reforms of adult social care law seen for over 60 years. Under the proposals, older people, disabled people, those with mental health problems and carers will, for the first time, be clear about their legal rights to care and support services. And local councils across England and Wales will have clear and concise rules to govern when they must provide services. Since the National Assistance Act 1948 adult social care law has been the subject of countless piecemeal reforms including new Acts of Parliament and a constant stream of regulations, circulars, directions, approvals and guidance. The proliferation of law has led to inefficiency in the system. Complex law also has the effect of stifling innovation, and make it difficult to promote flexibility and new policy approaches in practice. The report is divided into twelve Parts. Part 2 defines adult social care and Part 3 the structure of reform adopted. Parts 4 through to 8 set out core recommendations: Part 4 considers the role of statutory principles in providing an overall framework for decision making; Part 5 covers the role of community care assessments in determining a person's needs; Part 6 considers eligibility for services; Part 7 explores the equivalent assessment and eligibility processes for carers; and Part 8 considers the provision of services. Part 9 considers local authority adult protection functions. Finally, Parts 10 to 12 consider other issues, including ordinary residence and portability; areas where adult social care overlaps with other areas of law; and other outstanding issues.

The Care Act 2014 is a pivotal piece of legislation for adults with social care needs. It is particularly important for social workers, as it sets out the legislative context for the core social work processes that apply to all adults. The Social Worker’s Guide to the Care Act 2014 is a thoughtfully crafted resource that places social workers at the centre of the legal landscape. This guide takes a distinctive approach by honing in on what truly matters to social workers: assessing needs and formulating care and support plans that align with eligible requirements. Through a unique blend of key concepts, case examples, and critical evaluation, the book serves to enhance legal literacy in a way that empowers social workers. The ultimate goal of this guide is to equip social workers with a profound understanding of the legal framework within which they operate, enabling them to make informed professional judgements and apply their expertise effectively. This eagerly awaited second edition reflects extensive revisions based on valuable insights derived from judicial reviews, Ombudsman decisions, and in-depth research. Drawing from the author's extensive experience in providing training on the Care Act, the revised edition introduces two new sections that delve into the realms of professional judgement and defensible decisions—essential areas of focus for social workers. Additionally, it incorporates the amendments made to the Care Act 2014 by the Health and Care Act 2022. This substantially revised second edition of "The Social Worker's Guide to the Care Act 2014" will be your invaluable companion in navigating the complexities of social work and will be a source of knowledge, empowerment, and guidance. “Every social worker in England who works with adults needs a good knowledge of the Care Act. Whether newly qualified, several years into practice or an old hand this is the book that provides that knowledge. It is one of the key texts for practitioners I use again and again”. Luke Geoghegan, Head of Policy and Research, BASW
