We are delighted to share that on Tuesday 15th October, the Information Tribunal found in our favour for our first Information Tribunal case.

And this is only the start. We are awaiting judgement on our second round of enquiries and It is vital that this campaign continues until we get a positive outcome for this too.

And we’re off! Government ordered to reveal social care data in “landmark court case”. Read the Press Release here.

Access Social Care are setting out to address the lack of new practitioners coming into Community Care legal practice with opportunities for law students to learn about this area of law and gain real life experience.

Access Social Care, working in partnership with University of York, have piloted a Letter Writing Clinic where law students support Access Social Care clients to write a letter to their local authority about their social care issues.

At Access Social Care, we are calling on all political parties to adequately fund social care so that older, disabled people, and carers get the high-quality support they have a right to.

Although the hearing has concluded for today, we are disappointed that due to late disclosure of further evidence by the government, further representations have been requested by the Tribunal panel before they are able to make a decision.

Two government departments attempt to overturn the decision of the information commissioner in “landmark court case” to avoid revealing social care data

Our commitment to providing access to justice drives every aspect of our work. Recently we were delighted to resolve a pressing case brought to us by our member organisation Dimensions, who support people with learning disabilities and autism, to secure a client’s access to a lease car.
