How we can help
Advocates support people so that their views are heard and their rights upheld.
Advocates help people to put their feelings and views across when decisions are being made about their life.
Advocates give support which will enable a person to make choices.
Advocates enable the person to speak for themselves or in some situations speak on a person’s behalf.
Advocates act for the person making links with other people and organisations as appropriate.
Advocates work on a one-to-one basis with the person to develop that person’s confidence, wherever possible, whilst trying to ensure that the person feels as empowered as possible to take control of their own life.
