Specialist Statutory Funding and Health and Social Care Consultancy

Independent, social work-led advice for complex health, care and legal matters; clarity where legal, NHS and local-authority systems overlap. FJL helps professionals and families understand statutory responsibilities, identify viable funding pathways and move complex cases forward with confidence.

The right advice. The right support. Better outcomes.

Introduction to our service

This service is designed for complex cases where statutory responsibilities, private litigation, rehabilitation planning and family circumstances intersect. We provide independent social work-led guidance to help professionals identify what should reasonably be funded by statutory services, what may fall outside statutory provision, and how to progress matters in a clear, evidence-informed way.

The FJL Social Work-Led Consultancy and Statutory Funding Advisory Service provides independent advice and professional support to solicitors, professional deputies, case managers, clinicians and families who are navigating complex health, social care and statutory funding systems.

We help individuals with complex needs access appropriate statutory services, understand available funding routes and achieve sustainable long-term outcomes through strategic advocacy, assessment and expert guidance.

With extensive experience across legal, health, social care, education, mental health, disability and statutory funding frameworks, we provide clear, practical advice where responsibilities are complex, decisions are delayed or families and professionals are unsure how to move matters forward.

Our Aims and Commitments

We work with Claimant and Defendant Solicitors, Professional Deputies, Case Managers and Rehabilitation Professionals, and Families. Our aim is to provide clear, timely and practical advice that helps cases move forward. This may include improving access to services, reducing uncertainty about funding responsibilities, supporting better-informed decision-making and helping professionals protect damages or private funds where statutory provision should reasonably be explored.

Our advice is independent, evidence-informed and focused on the individual’s needs, statutory entitlements and practical circumstances. We work collaboratively while maintaining clear professional boundaries and objective analysis.

We believe that people with complex needs should have access to the services, support and funding to which they are entitled. We work alongside professionals and families to identify barriers, challenge decisions where appropriate and support timely, practical outcomes.
