During a very busy November, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the PFS Festival of Financial Planning in November – if you were there, hopefully you did too! But while all this was going on, we were still beavering away updating and adding to Care Box…
Everyone seems to be talking about the new Consumer Duty at the moment – so the timing of our latest comprehensive guide couldn’t be better. “Consumer Duty, Vulnerability and Care Advice” is a 40 page guide for Advisers…
Following the resignation of Boris Johnson, the leadership contest, and finally the arrival of Liz Truss in Number 10, we’ve been keen to see what this means for the care reforms in England.

In March we focussed entirely on completing our new, 44-page consumer-facing guide to NHS Continuing Health Care and publishing it on Care Box. We’re excited to announce that you can now find it in the Care Box library, and on the member’s home page.
The issue of unfair assessments for NHS Continuing Health Care has unfortunately been going on for years. Here at My Care Consultant we continue to see (and help with) situations where the correct assessment procedures have not been properly followed or implemented, to the detriment of our clients.

First of all, a very happy new year to all our members, and a special welcome to anyone who has recently joined Care Box. It was certainly an eventful Q4 for anyone involved in care or paying for care – and this year, we’ll find out how the government’s proposals for funding social care evolve, assuming they survive at all!

We’ve also added a new on-demand webinar on creating positive outcomes for clients in vulnerable circumstances, and other new material in the Vulnerability section of Care Box…
