Advocacy in the City of London

In the City of London, we offer IMCA services, including Deprivation of Liberty Safeguarding cases.

Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA)

IMCAs work with people who have been assessed as lacking capacity and who do not have family or friends who are appropriate to speak up for them. This work is always about decisions around serious medical treatment or changes in long term accommodation.

An IMCA can also support where there are concerns regarding Safeguarding or care reviews.

Paid Relevant Persons Representatives (IMCA DoLs)

Within this service, we would represent a person who has been deprived of their liberty after a decision has been made to do so in their best interests. We would ensure that the reasons for the deprivation are still relevant and that any measures that are put in place to support the deprivation are being carried out

You can find out more about IMCA and IMCA DoLs in our dedicated IMCA section, including how to make a referral.
