Ordinary Residence Matters
Join Blake Morgan for a live webinar where Legal Director, Tina Whitman and, Senior Associate, Daniel Taylor will deliver an update session on Ordinary Residence (adults) and how to determine which social services authority is responsible for meeting care and support needs. We will consider:
- What is “ordinary residence”? Test yourself…
- The Shah test
- Where P lacks capacity to decide where they want to reside?
- The Cornwall decision
- How to determine ordinary residence: Care Act 2024/ Social Services and Wellbeing Wales Act 2014
- Some scenarios:
- Temporary absence
- Prisoners
- Self-funded care
- Resolving disputes: locally, within nations and cross border
The session is designed for social care (and health) professionals and commissioners of social care. Due to time constraints the session will not cover Ordinary Residence under the Mental Health Act 1983 section 117.
