What is an Advocate?

The role of the advocate is to help people communicate with an effective voice, enabling them to influence decisions that affect their lives. An advocate acts on behalf of another person to establish or promote that person's rights.

Advocates can help people:

Make informed choices; Access information; Talk to service providers; Put their views across at care planning and other meetings; Uphold their rights; Make complaints.
