This organisation was originally set up as a charity, but several years ago, changed its legal constitution so that it is a provider of advice on anything to do with Adult Social care or continuing healthcare.
There are two ways in which its services can be accessed: an individual can subscribe for £50 per year to receive 9 focussed briefings on different topics of relevance in the Adult Social Care environment. For example:
· the supported living framework, and how it works and the limits of a local council’s responsibilities in that context;
· case law on Social Care legislation
· the CHC framework which can entitle a disabled person to free healthcare
· an individual’s rights if they have been sectioned;
NB : Cascaidr does not provide advice direct to invidiuals, and it does not advise on Benefits.
OR
CASCAiDR can provide bespoke advice via an organisation on anything to do with Adult Social Care, but this can only be given if the provider of care to the individual subscribes to CASCAidr (and the Provider pays, and authorises Cascaidr to provide advice to the individual). CASCAidr charges £100 per hour for that type of advice.
To subscribe, visit their website and details of the Alert Service is under “Services”.
What is CASCAIDr CIC?
CASCAIDr CIC aims to be your preferred destination for the best information and analysis about exactly that sort of concern – or associated health funding from the NHS, for anyone interested in legal rights to care and support, across England and Wales.
It’s a site for everyone who needs to find things out about the care system, and all our legal rights to decent care and support. First and foremost, it’s for people with any kind of condition, disability, illness or impairment – anyone who might need the support and funding offered by councils under the Care Act, 2014.
It’s for their relatives and friends, too, if the system doesn’t seem to be working quite the way it’s supposed to…
But it’s also for all the people working in this field, from any sector or perspective, if they care about legally literate practice. We get the social workers we deserve, and they need support to practise as professionals, as well.
