What is Advocacy? Everything you need to know about Advocacy, especially for Carers / caregivers
In this interview with Andrea Spence Jones from Advocacy Orkney we talk about what advocacy is, how you find an advocate, why you might need one and much more.
If you're a care giver and struggling to get your own voice heard, or that of the person you love an advocate can help make sure that you are involved with decisions that are made about you.

That's really sad to read. I don't think the problem lies within 'advovacy' per sé, but with either the advocate themself, or the service provider (organisation). Have you explored any other advocacy services? What would you like to happen next?
