Community Care and the Law

Authors Luke Clements and Pauline Thompson

Community Care and the Law has become the leading text for lawyers, policy workers, local authorities and voluntary sector advisers and carers. ‘This gem of a book … sets out everything you could possibly want to know about community care law and practice (and much that you didn’t know existed) … I would urge you to buy this book.’ Mind  Unfortunately it’s rather expensive, so we’ve bought a copy and if anyone would like to read it, it’s here in the office. It’s recommended reading so please make good use of it.

Another recent publication from the same author is  Carers and their Rights – the law relating to carers. This can be downloaded as a free PDF from Professor Luke Clements’ website and outlines the principal rights of carers to support from the health and social services authorities as they apply in England and Wales
