Disability Rights Solicitors

Pannone has specialist Disability Rights Solicitors that deal with all aspects of Disability and Community Care law and the areas of specialisation include the following:

• Disability Law
• Community Care

Community Care is an important and rapidly expanding area of UK law. It is undoubtedly important to ensure that disabled adults and children, along with their carers, receive the services from the Local Authority that meet their needs and are able to live in the community, either in their own homes or in residential care.

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) can be difficult to interpret and has been amended and updated since its original implementation. Pannone’s Specialist Support team, which includes our specialist Community Care Solicitor, are on hand to offer advice as to the specific rights of individuals and their carers, as well as the responsibilities of those in the public domain. We offer advice and support to the general public and can advise workers in the areas of community care and public law.

A substantial network of legally enforceable rights is contained in legislation, national policy guidance and local policies. Pannone is committed to ensuring that these rights are met in practice, in the face of local authority budget restrictions, and shortage of public and private care providers.

We can advise on legal entitlements to public services and write to and negotiate with local Councils to put right mistakes and obtain assessments and services. We can also take action in Court, called Judicial Review, to ensure that the correct assessments are made and services are provided to meet assessed needs.
