The overall aim of this study is to explore the reason(s) behind the low numbers of judicial reviews in social care in Wales, by identifying some socio-legal issues relating to access to justice in social welfare law in Wales. The key issues to assess are:- Whether legal practitioners have a reasonable understanding of the Welsh social welfare law, and whether the legal advice available reflects this;- The impact of the legal aid deserts in Welsh social care challenges;- Could judicial review be a more useful way to tackle the challenges brought to the local Councils and/or Ombudsman?;- Whether adult care recipients in Wales have a sound understanding of their legal rights and options, and what enforcing such rights can achieve; and- If a potential correlation between adult care recipients of certain/a combination of certain protected characteristics and a lower understanding of rights could influence a further decrease in challenges brought by certain protected characteristics.Allowing challenge of the lawfulness of administrative decisions is an element that is imperative to the public's access to justice ; so to identify any potential obstacles, such as the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 , and any social justice issues, such as discrimination, is crucial in order to ensure that those who are the most vulnerable (it can be argued that social care recipients fall into that category by default ) can enforce their rights. Ultimately, my understanding is that by exploring the above, it is possible to assess whether it is currently possible and beneficial for them to do so .

本研究的总体目的是通过确定威尔士社会福利法中与诉诸司法有关的一些社会法律问题，探讨威尔士社会关怀领域司法审查数量较少的原因。需要评估的关键问题是： - 法律从业者是否对威尔士社会福利法有合理的理解，以及现有的法律建议是否反映了这一点； - 法律援助荒漠对威尔士社会关怀挑战的影响； - 司法审查是否可以解决当地议会和/或监察员面临的挑战的更有用的方法？；- 威尔士的成人护理接受者是否充分了解自己的合法权利和选择，以及执行这些权利可以实现什么目标； - 如果具有某些/某些受保护特征组合的成人护理接受者之间的潜在相关性和对权利的较低理解可能会影响某些受保护特征带来的挑战的进一步减少。允许对行政决定的合法性提出质疑是一个要素对于公众诉诸司法至关重要；因此，找出任何潜在的障碍，例如《2012 年法律援助、罪犯量刑和处罚法》，以及任何社会正义问题，例如歧视，对于确保那些最弱势的人（可以说，默认情况下，社会照顾接受者属于该类别）可以行使自己的权利。最终，我的理解是，通过探索上述内容，可以评估目前这样做是否可能并且对他们有利。
