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
