We provide Advocacy Services in 3 different ways
We will advise you on the best method for your specific issue or needs.
1
One to one Advocacy
One to one Advocacy stands alongside individuals helping them to represent their views, rights and what they believe is in their best interests.
2
Collective / Group Advocacy
Collective / Group Advocacy happens when a group of people who are all facing a common problem come together on a formal basis to support each other over specific issues.
3
Non-instructed Advocacy
Non-instructed Advocacy happens when an individual can not tell their Independent Advocacy Worker what they want and usually takes place with people who have dementia or profound and /or severe learning difficulties. This can be a long process, taking time to get to know the person and significant other in their lives.
“When we do our SMILE work I don’t feel like I have a learning disability, people don’t see our disability, they see you – it makes me feel the same as everyone else.”
Learning Disability Advocacy Service User“I didn’t feel positive about my care before, but with you here I feel positive about it now.”
Learning Disability Advocacy Service User“I felt great knowing that you were there beside me; really comfortable. Maybe in the past when I have had to do an assessment, I felt quite tense, but it felt good to have you there.”
Learning Disability Advocacy Service User“We didn’t know that we could use our SDS to purchase equipment during Covid-19, but with Advocacy’s support we were able to approach our local authority to request a more flexible spend.”
Learning Disability Advocacy Service User“I really appreciate everything you have done for me. Thank you for everything you have done to help.”
