Social workers can find themselves in need of legal advice because of their professional activities:

• Problems with registration or investigations;
• Advice and support on whistleblowing;
• Grievance and disciplinary problems;
• Employment disputes

Social care organisations can also find themselves in need of legal advice because of their professional activities:

• Developments in the law that put funding at risk;
• Regulatory requirements;
• Obtaining appropriate responses from the statutory sector.

Between us, Celtic Knot’s solicitors have long experience of trades union representation, expertise in ethics and professional standards in social work, and practical experience of working as a social worker in local authority and voluntary sector settings.
