Achieving best outcomes for terminating residency and transitioning service users out of placements

Exploring common barriers and providing solutions for when a placement is no longer suitable

This webinar brings together leading specialists from the care and property litigation sectors to provide a clear, practical guide to managing situations where a placement is no longer suitable. The session will explore common barriers that arise for providers, commissioners and care providers, and offer workable solutions that support safe, lawful, and person‑centred decision‑making.

Our Health & Social Care specialists will outline the reasons eviction proceedings may arise within supported accommodation and care settings, highlighting the importance of early, transparent communication with commissioners, local authorities, service users, and relevant family members. They will also emphasise why providers should seek advice on processes before issuing any form of provider notice.

The Property Litigation team will walk through the eviction process itself — from identifying the correct notice to serve, depending on how the tenancy or licence is structured, to understanding the possession process and what each stage entails.

Finally, Ben Leb, a Barrister at Five Paper, will examine the likely defences providers may encounter, including those arising under the Equality Act, and how these should be approached to ensure compliance and reduce risk.
