Appeal for CHC decision regarding Child Continuing Care

I had an exceptional experience with the Solicitor Rosie Campbell.
She was very attentive to our needs and was pro-active.
We were challenging a CHC decision to remove a Care Package for our child.
We won our appeal and cannot thank Rosie enough for her persistence and hard work.
We are very grateful to her and to RockIrwinSweeney.

Anne-Marie and the team at Rook Irwin…

Anne-Marie and the team at Rook Irwin Sweeney successfully represented our healthcare service, an interested party to a Judicial Review hearing. We, the client, received prompt and clear communication, with sound legal advice throughout the process. We have no hesitation in recommending Rook Irwin Sweeney to others.

Professional and outstanding service

Both Rosie and Polly were extremely professional, knowledgeable and empathetic with their advice and support. Always prompt in responding and gave sound advice which ultimately resulted in achieving the best possible outcome in our daughters DOLs proceedings via COP with the added bonus of recovering a substantial proportion of legal costs from the applicant.

Excellent service from a lawyer who offered genuinely practical advice

Beth led the team's work and provided invaluable insights throughout. She was quick to respond, clear in her communications and offered very practical advice. The firm had first-hand, recent experience of dealing with and litigating against our Local Authority, as well as a wealth of knowledge about the legal framework. If you are a family facing an unfair system and struggling to find the right support, then I would whole-heartedly recommend RIS and particularly Beth. She is a great example of an empathetic lawyer who is nonetheless ruthlessly results driven.

Health and Welfare deputyship application

We have been working with Katie Sinclair of Rook Irwin Sweeney to apply for a Health and Welfare deputyship for our disabled adult son.
Katie has worked with us in a patient and empathic manner she is extremely thorough and has always responded in a full and timely way to any queries raised. She has been fair and honest about the likelihood of a deputyship being granted. I am more than happy to recommend her. And delighted that our application was successful.

Excellent advice both on the law and strategy

I instructed RIS to advise on my son’s EHCP appeal. I felt fully supported both on the law and the strategy the case should follow and really benefited from the contacts and specialists they have used previously. The outcome of the case, which wasn’t straight forward, was better than I’d hoped. Couldn’t have done it without them!

Beth Parr

Beth helped us to secure an EOTIS package for our child. She is extremely knowledgeable, confident in her dealings with LA staff, prompt with her responses and very polite. I would highly recommend Beth for any parent seeking legal advice for a child with an EHCP.

She was a calming knowledgable advisor and helped me navigate the options laid out to us.
Beth went above and beyond compiling the key points from a vast number of reports and weaved them into our mess of an EHCP. She worked methodically to re-draft the document into one where we could actually see our son and his opportunities and challenges.
She negotiated with the Local Authority to bring us to a successful outcome.
I am hugely grateful to Beth for helping us through such a stressful time, I would not hesitate in recommending her.

Challenge council re EHC plan

We received great timely advice from Beth Parr in a language that made a complex problem understandable. We always felt we could reach out to her with any concerns and she was always quick to get back to us.
She was very thorough and picked up the key issues of our case , working within a very tight deadline.

Beth Parr has provided exceptional service. She has been incredibly responsive, professional and thorough in both her approach and advice, and I would highly recommend her. She clearly has a wealth of experience in advising on EHCP and SEN issues and was very approachable and thoughtful.

Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie was empathic and proffessional. Her guidance throughout our appeal process was clear, and enabled us to complete a good deal of the work ourselves, saving us a lot of money. I have already recommended her to other parents with SEN children.

We were up against two sets of lawyers from our ICB and LA. Anne-Marie Irwin and her team worked all hours to support us successfully achieving what we needed to keep our son safe and at home. We were particularly impressed by her speed and efficiency at responding to us and the opposition. Throughout the case Anne-Marie was supportive but remained totally professional, clearly setting out the outcomes we could expect. We were exceptionally happy with our choice of lawyer and would not hesitate to recommend RIS or use them again.

Rook Irwin Sweeney is a national force of good.

I wish I had approached Rook Irwin Sweeney earlier after years of battling for a suitable Social Care Package for our disabled child. Caroline was able to quickly identify our struggles and malpractice of the department in question at our Local Authority. She was extremely thorough and with her wealth of experience she was able to resolve our issues within weeks.
I was impressed by her immediate grasp of the facts and the superb advice and guidance I received throughout while also making herself immediately available to discuss any developments.
One of the very few firms in the UK that have a team of multiple highly regarded and highly sought after Solicitors and Barristers working for me and you.
