New publication – Cemented to the floor by law: Respecting legal duties in a time of cuts

Cemented to the floor by law: Respecting legal duties in a time of cuts is written by Steve Broach, Barrister for Doughty Street Chambers, and endorsed by CDC.

It is essential reading for all commissioners, managers and professionals working in local authorities, Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) and other public bodies, particularly given the rise in spending cuts and their impact on disabled children's services. The paper includes some of the most important legal duties to consider when funding decisions are being taken and outlines the distinction between local authorities’ duties and powers when making decisions about services.
