What is advocacy?
Advocacy is free, independent support to involve people in decisions about their health, care and wellbeing.
There are different types of advocacy, each with different criteria. Statutory advocacy types are available everywhere, but other types of advocacy are unique to particular areas.
This agency will help patients if they are in care, leaving care, have or need a social worker.
