Autumn Budget 2021 Roundup Our Experts Share Their Views

"Following on from the Government’s long-awaited social care reforms last month, it is encouraging to see that there appears to be a further planned injection of funds to local authorities, announced in today’s Budget. Hopefully this is a sign of the government further prioritising this issue. "However, like always, the devil is in the detail. It’s obviously unknown how much of this will be allocated specifically to social care issues and in particular the need to attract qualified and quality staff into the sector. This particular point needs to be addressed, rather than simply allocating funds more generally."

Irwin Mitchell’s Later Life Conference To Tackle Social Care Reforms, Mental Capacity And More

“We’re all really excited for the upcoming Later Life conference, which we’re hoping will shed some light on the ways in which planning ahead for the future can make a massive difference for both clients and their families. “The recent social care reforms have created a lot of discussion, and it’s a topic we’ll be tackling head-on for our audience of other lawyers, finance professionals, care home professionals and a whole host of others involved in the later life sector. “I’m also looking forward to some more light-hearted topics being discussed as well such as an insightful look into the world of mature cosmetics with our keynote speaker, Tricia Cusden, as well as a session from dating service Vida Consultancy on finding love in later life. “It promises to be a very interesting, informative and thought-provoking event for everyone attending, and we’re committed to making sure everyone has a great day.”

Men More Likely To Plan And Invest For Retirement Than Women, New Survey Shows

“Later life planning isn’t something that comes to the forefront of the mind, especially when there are so many other exciting life milestones to plan ahead for – yet what these figures are showing is that women are less likely to be prepared for later life. “The fact that women over 40 are less likely to know what income they need to retire on, are more likely not to know or understand about later life care and the costs and also more likely not to have any plans for retirement only suggests women will suffer more in later life if the Government does not do something to address this area. “Traditionally men are considered more financially savvy than women – even though women often control the household’s budget – which is reflected in the findings. However, this cultural divide as well as the stigma around talking about money isn’t helping this problem. “We’ve been campaigning for years about how social care reform needs to be prioritised in the Government’s agenda. Seeing now how some men, but even more women, don’t know what the best option would be for their personal circumstances suggests a serious number of people are going to fall short financially when it comes to later life.”
