- In this interview with Andrea Spence Jones from Advocacy Orkney we talk about what advocacy is, how you find an advocate, why you might need one and much more.
If you're a care giver and struggling to get your own voice heard, or that of the person you love an advocate can help make sure that you are involved with decisions that are made about you.

So interesting thank you.
Really helpful
I wish they had this in the US
It was extremely helpful and interesting !!! Thank you very much for your advice. I want to ask if I can have an advocate if I am a single adult person fighting against abuse from Housing Association?
My advocate gave me the wrong national insurance number ending in 81 for the year of 81 Maggie fenwick nhs Dias I don’t want to hear from her tell Dias to send another Maggie thatcher fenwick will win the lottery.
Advocacy does nothing to help I am a carer of a young boy with Autism who is locked up drugged up and sedated My Advocacy worker my sons advocacy worker do not really do anything for me
That's really sad to read. I don't think the problem lies within 'advovacy' per sé, but with either the advocate themself, or the service provider (organisation). Have you explored any other advocacy services? What would you like to happen next?
