- Disputes with local housing authorities over their duties towards the homeless
- Challenging social services and/or the National Asylum Support Service concerning the welfare rights of asylum seekers and other persons from abroad
- Challenging social services/NHS trusts in relation to the provision of care for the sick, elderly or infirm
- Disputes with social services over their treatment of children in need and their families, looked after children, and young people leaving care.
