Our advocates work with children and young people who are in care, leaving care, receiving support from children's services, or otherwise experiencing difficulties in having their rights, wishes and feelings recognised. Advocacy may involve supporting a child or young person to:

understand their rights and entitlements;
express their wishes, feelings and views;
participate meaningfully in meetings and decision-making processes;
understand information and decisions affecting them;
challenge decisions or actions that they believe are unfair or do not reflect their wishes and feelings;
make a complaint or raise concerns;
access appropriate services and support;
identify and understand their options;
communicate directly with professionals, services or decision-makers; and
have their voice heard when decisions are being made about their lives.
