I feel you and I can do the meeting together. I feel better. You don’t push me into choices. I can talk to you.
If a social worker or doctor decides you need help to say what you think about these things, the law says they must get you an advocate.
An advocate is an independent professional who is on your side. They can support you to have your say and know your rights. Advocates don’t work for the council, the NHS, or care providers.
You don’t have to pay for an advocate but there are rules about who can get an advocate and when. To check if you can get an advocate, ask your social worker or healthcare professional, or contact us.
