Law Commission consultation on disabled children's social care law

We invite consultees' views on the cause of the problems faced by disabled children receiving social care in making the transition to adult social care.

We provisionally propose that the Care Act 2014 be amended to provide a statutory age at which transition planning should be started in relation to disabled children.

Do consultees agree?

If the Care Act 2014 were to be amended to provide a statutory age at which transition planning should be started in relation to disabled children, we invite consultees’ views as to the age at which this should start.
