Free Webinar – Challenging Ordinary Residence Disputes for S 117 Aftercare from a Patient Perspective

This event is designed to help solicitors navigate law and procedure when either a public body refuses to accept or disputes responsibility for after care provision. This can be in the community or delay tribunals.

Although S 117 ordinary residence disputes between local authorities are resolved by the Secretary of State this webinar provides a guide to help those representing patients use the law kick start the resolution procedure.
