Advocacy Partners is leading the
development and delivery of independent advocacy services in
London
and
the South East.
We enable people with learning
disabilities, older people and people with mental health needs
or physical impairments to have rights that are respected,
voices that are heard and real control over life decisions. We
support people to be treated fairly and to participate fully
in community life.
Advocacy
Partners was the first advocacy organisation of its kind in
the
U.K.
and has been
providing independent advocacy since 1981.
We continue to play
a leading role in enabling people who use health and social
care support to have greater choice and control. Examples
include our lead role in the development and implementation of
the first statutory advocacy service in England and Wales, Independent
Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA), and our role shaping thinking
on personalising social care.
We
provide services in 10 main London Local Authority areas, and
in Kent Surrey, Brighton, Hove and Sussex.
We provide independent Mental
Capacity Advocacy IMCA
services in
ten local authorities.
