HELPING PEOPLE WHO NEED IT THE MOST

Jackson & Canter's Community Care department was established to provide practical assistance, advice and representation for vulnerable people who need help from social services. We also assist people who may already be getting help from the social services but find it difficult to cope.

Community Care law exists to provide services and support for people who need it the most. With Jackson & Canter's support, you can benefit from a wide range of health and social service provisions.

Q. Who does the Community Care department help?

Jackson & Canter are involved in cases concerning a wide group of vulnerable people who need help the most. These include:

  • The elderly
  • People with disabilities
  • People with learning difficulties
  • People with mental health problems
  • People with drug or alcohol problems
  • Parents of children who are disabled
  • Parents of children suffering from ADHD, Aspergers Syndrome or autism
  • Asylum seekers
  • Carers

Q. What can the Community Care team help me with?

Our vast experience means we have knowledge and expertise in all aspects concerning Community Care law. In particular, we can help:

  • Carers who need a break from looking after adults
  • Asylum seekers in need of support due to physical disability or mental health problems
  • Obtain an assessment from social services

Q. How much will it cost me?

If you qualify for Legal Aid we may be able to help you free of charge. When we first meet with you we will determine if you qualify or not. If you do not qualify, we will tell you how much we expect your case to cost. We will do our best to keep costs as low as possible and if our estimate changes, we will inform you as soon as we can. We accept cash and cheques, or if it is easier for you, you can pay by debit or credit card.

Q. What if English is not my first language?

We can provide an interpreter for most languages. Please tell us that you need this service when you first contact us.

Q. What if I have hearing difficulties?

We can arrange for a sign language interpretor to help. Please give us plenty of notice to arrange for this service.

Q. Where can I come and see you?

Our Community Care department is based in Church Street, Liverpool city centre. The office is fully accessible if you have any mobility difficulties. You can also make an appointment at our Toxteth office.
