Provision of an Advocacy Service

The primary aim of the service is to ensure that independent advocacy is in place for vulnerable people who meet the eligibility criteria. Categories of need for people accessing the service are likely to include adults with a learning disability, autism, mental health condition, dementia, cognitive impairment or acquired brain injury. People in caring roles and children approaching a transition from Children's to Adult's Services may also be eligible to access the service. All practicable steps will be taken for vulnerable people to be empowered and to have their voices heard.
