This policy sets the framework for delivery of Advocacy Services on the island. It is intended to support adult social care and health staff in their person-centred practice and to secure personalised outcomes by helping individuals, their families, friends and/or carers to:

·             speak up for, or act on behalf of, themselves or another person.

·             take action to say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests.

·             contribute their views, opinions, ideas and feelings to inform processes for continuous service improvement.
