The Care Act 2014 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that received Royal Assent on 14 May 2014, after being introduced on 9 May 2013.〔〔 The main purpose of the act was to overhaul the existing 60-year-old legislation regarding social care in England. The Act received the consensus of the three main political parties in the UK during its passage through parliament. The Act was implemented following substantial public consultation but was criticised for some of the funding reforms included within the Act. The Act was unusual in respect of being one of the few Acts to have started its progress in the House of Lords rather than the House of Commons〔 ==Overview== The Care Act was a lengthy act addressing many issues, from a review of the public consultation 107 recommendations were made of which many were adopted.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Parliament of the United Kingdom )〕 However some of the major changes are:〔 *That Local councils now have a duty to promote the well-being of carers, previously this duty of care was only made to the users of the care services; *That anyone receiving care and support from a regulated provider which has been arranged by the council will be covered by the Human Rights Act 1998; *That councils must enable users or potential users of care services to access independent financial advice on their care funding; *The introduction of a new appeals system for care users to appeal against council decisions on eligibility to care and care funding. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Care Act 2014」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
