Advocacy in Barnet
What is Advocacy?
Advocacy means helping you to express your views and making sure that these views are taken seriously.
-
We will help you find out about your rights, so that you can make up your own mind about what you want to happen
-
We will help you explain your views and will make sure that people listen to you
-
We can speak with those who are supporting you, like social workers, teachers or family, to help make sure that you are involved in any plans being made about you
-
If you want, we can help you to make a complaint and support you through the process
If you would like an Advocate you can ask your Social Worker to refer you, or you can self- refer directly to:
