Here at Action for People we offer advocacy services to ensure people can make their voice heard on issues that are important to them. A team of support staff and trained counsellors are part of the office team. The team support people to make sure they are listened to and that their views are counted when either decisions are being made that affect them, to raise complaints and to offer extra support as it is needed.
The aim of advocacy is to make sure adults and young people are protected and their rights are met by providing an opportunity for views to be listened to and properly considered. An advocate can provide support by:
- helping you to say want you want;
- making sure your voice, wishes and feelings are being heard;
- listening to you;
- helping you make a complaint;
- making sure you understand your rights and that your rights are being respected;
- obtaining the services you are entitled to,
- supporting you in important meetings.
