Ann recently attended a Moving into Adulthood conference where she heard a very useful and interesting presentation given from a Barrister at Monckton Chambers Solicitors. He touched on some key issues and developments facing parents at the moment, such as;

• Children and Families Act 2014
• EHC Plans
• Personal Budgets
• Local Offer
• Care Act 2014
• Mental Capacity Act 2005
• Justice for LB and ‘LB Bill’

These are all legal issues that have seen recent developments – you need to be clued up on these to fully understand how your rights may have changed.

Please click on the following link to view the presentation slides – there are also some very useful links to Steve’s blog at the end of the slideshow for extra support.
