When the Council determines ordinary residence to be in another local authority area

In this section

8.1    Where the council has determined that an adult with care and support needs is ordinarily resident in another local authority’s area, we will advise the relevant local authority in writing of our determination and the reason why.

8.2    The council will require local authorities which disagree with a council determination to supply the following documents and information (if not already supplied) before the determination can be reconsidered:

  • most recent Care Act assessment and where relevant, any mental health assessments

  • mental capacity assessment and best interest decision documentation (where relevant)

  • care and support plans

  • Guardianship order under s7 MHA (where relevant)

  • any relevant Court Orders / Court or other legal authorisations (for example DoLS /LPAs/Deputyship)

  • date on which the person was first placed / intended to be placed in Gloucestershire and the reason for the placement

  • type of accommodation in which the person was / will be placed

  • copy of the relevant agreement, for example tenancy, placement, shared lives
     
  • any other documentation or information which the council considers to be necessary to reach a determination.
