Guides to Legislation

Following all the recent changes to legislation with the introduction of The Care Act & Mental Capacity Act, ResCare have writen some very useful “user guides” to give an overview of what they may mean for you. This includes Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCP), Learning Disability and Work Related Benefits & Personal Budgets.

Please follow the links for each below;

Education, Health & Care Plans

Learning Disability and Work Related Benefits

Personal Budgets

The Care Act is also a useful document to be aware of – however this is rather lengthy, so ResCare have compiled “The Care Act – A User Guide”, which may help highlight key points.

 

ResCare regularly campaign for the rights of people with Learning Disabilities and report back on their findings, as well as useful information on current legislation. If you are unaware of who ResCare are, please go to their website www.rescare.org.uk to find out more.
