Dumfries and Galloway Advocacy Service

Description

Independent Advocacy is about empowering people involved in using or receiving services. We work within Dumfries & Galloway to express our clients' views, wishes, and feelings. We are as free from conflict of interest as possible and work separately from other services.

Our Independent Advocates strive, at all times, to stand by our clients and ensure that the client's voice is expressed without compromise. An independent advocate works on a one-to-one basis with the client to find solutions to their issues and helps them understand the options available, while protecting their rights and ensuring they are treated with respect and dignity. 

We are funded to advocate for the following groups: 

·         Mental Health (Care & Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003

·         Adults with Incapacity (incl. Guardianship and 13ZA)

·         Learning Disability

·         Autism

·         Adult Support and Protection

·         Self-Directed Support

·         Unpaid Carers 

·         Young People (18–25-year-old)
