Law Commission Consultation

As you may be aware the Law Commission has recently published a consultation paper on the proposals to update the law for adult social care in England and Wales. Here at research in practice for adults we’re collating responses to this consultation on behalf of the Partners in our network. The proposals represent a significant change to the law in this area and we feel that it is important that our response takes into account the views of our network of Partners.

We have therefore invited our Partner agencies to provide comments and feedback so that their views may be incorporated into our response. Our reference panel have also been discussing the consultation document electronically and their thought and views will be incorporated into our response.

We understand that reading the full consultation document is time-consuming and we therefore prepared a summary of the issues that we perceived to be the most pertinent to our Partners and we highlighted a number of key questions, in italics, for their attention. You can read our summary here. If you wish to read the consultation document in greater detail, and to comment on areas that we have not covered in this outline, the full summary may be accessed on the Law Commission website.

What do you think of the proposals? We’d welcome a discussion here and would love to hear any thoughts, comments or questions  - as detailed or as brief as you like.
