School of Social Work seminar series
The Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences' School of Social Work is delighted to present a series of seminars at its Kingston Hill Campus. The seminars are delivered by leading national and international researchers, policy makers and commentators and focus on issues of topical and contemporary importance. The seminars are open to all staff and students at Kingston University and at St George’s, University of London, staff in local social services in the statutory, voluntary and private sectors, and to service users and carers and their organisations who assist with the School's social work education programmes.
This seminar, presented by Tim Spencer-Lane, will explore the Law Commission’s final report on the reform of adult social care law, how the Law Commission undertook its review and how it came to its conclusions.
Tim Spencer-Lane is the senior lawyer at the Law Commission responsible for the review of adult social care. He is also currently working on the Commission's review of health and social care professional regulation. He worked previously as the policy adviser to the Law Society on mental health and disability law, and was the chair of the Mental Health Alliance Policy Group.
