If someone needs support from social services, whether that’s care at home or moving into a care home, the council will carry out a financial assessment.

Welcome to TSL’s Weekly Edge, whether you’re aiming for a regional or high-street practice, or just want to get a feel for how law works in the real world beyond textbooks, you’re in the right place.
No corporate jargon, no massive deals, just real useful information designed to give you that extra edge in your legal journey.

Whether it’s going to the gym, playing a sport, cooking, gaming, or anything else that allows you to switch-off, hobbies make you better when you do come back to your studies.
The people who perform best long-term aren’t the ones glued to their desks 24/7. They’re the ones who know when to step away and invest time in something else. So don’t feel guilty for a bit of “me time”.
