About The Advocacy Project
We help people speak up and make decisions about their health, wellbeing and social care. We’re here to make sure people across all ages and care groups can understand their rights, make effective choices about their lives and voice their concerns.
Some of the ways we do this include:
- advocacy services that make sure people can express their wishes when decisions are being made about their care or wellbeing
- user involvement projects that help organisations improve what they offer by listening to people who use their services
- local Healthwatch services, which act as health and social care champions for the areas they serve and give people a direct channel to share their feedback
- accessible communication – we specialise in producing easy read documents designed to help organisation communicate with people with learning disabilities.
