📣 Could a Missing Power of Attorney

Put Your Service at Risk?

When a resident or service user loses capacity without a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) or an up‑to‑date Will, their finances can be frozen for months. For care providers, that often means delayed fees, disrupted cashflow, and unnecessary stress for everyone involved.


That’s why we encourage managers to signpost families early to Ray Bassett at West Midlands Care Legal Services . Ray specialises in LPAs, Wills and Court of Protection applications — offering clear guidance, sector‑specific expertise, and extremely competitive rates.



Don’t just take our word for it. Jackie Spittle, Manager at Oaklands Nursing Home in Kingswinford, regularly uses Ray’s services for her residents and highly recommends him. Watch the video to find out why.

Supporting families to get these legal protections in place now helps safeguard residents’ wishes — and keeps your service running smoothly.

This week, we published our annual ‘Size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England’ report . It provides a comprehensive overview of the size and composition of the adult social care workforce and includes information relating to workforce supply and demand, international recruitment, and statistics on the wider economy. Read more about the report in the workforce intelligence section below. The Government is seeking views on reforms to zero hours and similar contracts to implement measures in the Employment Rights Act 2025 to end one-sided flexibility. The consultation is your opportunity to share feedback on how the reforms, including the right to guaranteed hours, reasonable notice, and short notice payments, should be implemented and ensure that the views of the adult social care sector are represented. The consultation closes on Tuesday 25 August at 23:59. You can read the impact assessments on the reforms to inform your response : Impact assessment: Right to Guaranteed Hours and Impact assessment: ZHC - Right to Reasonable Notice of Shift Patterns and Payment for Shifts Cancelled, Moved or Curtailed at Short Notice
