Social care consultancy Quality Compliance Systems (QCS) is to offer an enhanced legal advice service to its clients via Napthens Solicitors.
To mark the fifth anniversary of working together, Napthens and QCS have struck a landmark agreement that will see the former offer surgeries to latter's members.
The surgeries, which will be free to QCS members, will cover a range of different compliance areas including legal, health & safety and human resources.
“These are difficult times for the social care sector. The combination of Brexit and the pandemic have only added to the multitude of challenges it faces,” said Napthens associate solicitor Chris King.
“We believe, however, that the long-standing partnership that we have forged with QCS, coupled with the new surgeries, will help providers better understand how their businesses are likely to be impacted by new and updated legislation, and most importantly, stay ahead of the curve,” he added.
QCS major accounts & alliances manager Philippa Stevens said the agreement will continue to “strengthen the content and the best practice guidance” that it delivers to its clients.
“We’re very excited to announce the surgeries too. Not only will they complement the legal helpline that Napthens already provides to our members, they’ll take our compliance capability to an exciting new level,” she added.
