What is advocacy?
Citizen Advocacy
Citizen advocates are
volunteers who speak up for other people as if they were
speaking for themselves.
They help people to do
things they would like to do in their community.
Advocacy Partners find,
train & help citizen advocates.
Professional Advocacy
Advocacy Partners employ
staff to work with individuals.
They work with someone to
help them with a problem.
They work with people who
need a lot of help to change things in their lives.
Self
Advocacy
Advocacy Partners helps
people with learning disabilities to speak up for
themselves.
We work with people in
self-advocacy groups.
Self-advocacy groups help
people to help each other, sometimes people have the same
problems and the group can work together to sort these
problems out.
Developing
Advocacy Organisations
Advocacy Partners works
to help other advocacy organisations.
