Hi, I posted a while ago re: supported living for my 36 year old son, we are still struggling to find anywhere locally. We would like to find out what our sons legal rights are and wondered if there are solicitors out there who would advise about this. Also someone mentioned finding an independent/private social worker but I've been unable upto now...has anyone any contacts please? We live in Bolton in Greater Manchester. Thank you

Hi.....You might try RussellandRussell, they have an office in Horwich and in Westhoughton ask to speak to Emma, i think her surname is Jones but if you say its to do with deputeeships and rights the message will be passed on to Emma.
