Independent advocacy is an important part of the health and social care system, offering active support to people who are at risk of exclusion. Access to independent advocacy helps people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests, and obtain services they need – in relation to the health, social care, education systems and beyond.
Advocacy services are designed to support individuals in navigating the complex health and social care systems, ensuring they receive appropriate care and assistance. These services can be provided by individuals, organisations, or professionals trained in advocating for patients' needs and rights.
