SEND Family Law Brunch Thursday 29 June at 11am on Zoom
Special Educational Needs and Disability ('SEND'), Mental Capacity and Family Law: What you Need to Know
Family cases involving children and young people with SEND often feature added complexity, beyond the remit of family courts. Mencap and Public Health England identified 353,000 children as having a learning disability (2016) and with divorce rates sharply increasing since 2020, the need to understand the overlap between Special Educational Needs and Disability ('SEND'), family and mental capacity law is essential.
3PB family and education law barrister Aimee Fox has teamed up with Paul Linsell, partner and head of Boyes Turner's family law team and James Pantling-Skeet and Rachael Allison, senior associates in Boyes Turner's top ranked SEN, Community Care and Court of Protection team to explore this important topic.
Our presenters will seek to address how family and these other areas of law can overlap through case studies to help you secure the best outcomes for clients with children who have additional needs and those lacking mental capacity.
Key factors include:
- Financial matters: statutory entitlements and funding
- Addressing competing interests while retaining the focus on the welfare of the SEN child or young person.
We would be delighted to see you on Zoom. Please register above so that we know we have enough Zoom spaces available.
Our presenters will be answering questions on the day and we look forward to receiving those via your Zoom registration or at [email protected].
