Comprehensive volume that looks at learning disability from every legal perspective. Discusses the situation of the individual, parents, and carers from the point of view of rights and capacity, civil and criminal responsibility and other obligations. The role of the Health Authority is looked at, as well as that of the Local Authority in regard to education, community and residential care. The financial implications of being mentally handicapped are explained via a discussion of state benefits, making financial provision for an individual, and management of financial affairs. Guidance is given on setting up and running societies and obtaining charitable status.
