Adult social care is hard to find your way through
There are 152 councils in England. Each has its own website and its own way of doing things. The rules are complicated and they change every year. The jargon is baffling. You shouldn't need a legal background to work out what you're entitled to.
152 councils, 152 different websites
Every council organises its social care information differently. Unless you already know where to look, you won't find what you need.
Rules that change every year
The Care Act, charging rules, mental capacity law, safeguarding duties. Each has different thresholds, different processes, and different people to speak to.
Jargon that makes your head spin
Eligibility criteria, CHC, section 42 enquiries, DoLS, direct payments. The language seems designed to confuse, not to help.
