Childlaw – Working Exclusively for Local Authorities

As a practice, we are proud of the work we have done in relation to the supporting people programme. In particular, our lead expert Alberta Tevie has been involved with the supporting people programme since the pilot programmes commenced in 2000/2001. We have advised on:

• The details and implications for local authorities of the supporting people programme
• Planning, commissioning and monitoring under the programme
• Issues relating to funding and coordinating actual packages of support
• Where necessary, we have provided advice and assistance on contracts and dispute resolution
