Our COO, Clare Harrison, is joined by Heledd Wyn, Solicitor and Partner at Rothley Law, for a discussion focused on care, capacity and planning for the future.

Together, they explore mental capacity, long-term care planning, and what can happen when a crisis arises, as well as the role of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). The conversation also highlights key considerations for families as a child grows older and transitions from childhood into legal adulthood.

The episode outlines the protections that may be available, and the practical steps parents and families can take to ensure their child continues to receive the right support, care and safeguarding into adulthood.
