How can we help?

What services we have to offer

We are Independent Professional Advocates and Independent Visitors who are here to listen to you and support you to make sure your voice is heard! This is how we can help…

What is Advocacy?

Advocacy is about having someone to listen to you. It can help you to tell the people who make decisions about your life what you think and how you feel.

Please see our leaflet for more information >

The short video we produced called “Is Anyone Listening?” serves as a good introduction to what advocacy means:

Advocacy can help you to:

• get your voice heard
• know and understand your rights
• take part in meetings and reviews
• sort things out with your social worker or carer
• make a complaint

What is Independent Visiting?

We also have an Independent Visitor Service for those with no or limited contact with their parents. An Independent Visitor is an adult who will visit you and keep you company, serving as a positive role model and a friend.

Independent Visiting can help you to:

• try new things and have new experiences
• become comfortable around adults
• have someone to talk to
• go on fun activities
