A brand new ICG member benefit
ICG is extremely pleased to announce a new service, which is free to ICG members. Law firm RadcliffesLeBrasseur (RLB) with offices in London, Leeds and Cardiff has agreed to provide us with a free legal helpline. RLB is one of the top law firms in the UK with particular expertise in the healthcare sector.
RLB has a wide experience of dealing with issues including employment advice; funding disputes; acquisition, disposal and re-financing; registration issues; planning matters; complaints and negligence; policy documentation; issues arising under the Mental Health Act; data protection and confidentiality; untoward incidents, inquests and investigations; and Human Rights matters.
In addition RLB will run a free legal seminar for ICG members in the New Year. Details to be announced. Please call ICG to express your interest in attending.
Furthermore RLB writes a regular column for our quarterly newsletter Independent Care Matters to keep us up to date
Free legal help line
From May 2006 all ICG members will be entitled to call RLB on 0207 227 7308. You can have a free 20 minute consultation with a RLB solicitor on any legal query related to healthcare, care homes or domiciliary care. (Your calls will be limited to one call per topic). When you call please give the name of your business so that you can be identified as an ICG member. RLB is holding a list of all paid-up 2006-2007 ICG members.
Should you require further action – for example a solicitor’s letter or a follow on call – then this will be charged at a slightly reduced normal rate.
We look forward to having a fruitful association with RLB and have linked our website to theirs so that our members know where to turn. Full details are being sent to members with their 2006-2007 Membership Certificates. See member benefits for more reasons why you should consider joining us.
