Advocacy means getting support from another person to help you express your views and wishes, and help you stand up for your rights. Someone who helps you in this way is called your advocate.<\/p>\n
The role of an advocate depends on your situation and the support you want. But they are there to support your choices.<\/p>\n
Advocacy is about giving a person support to have their voice heard.\u00a0 It is about helping people understand their rights and express their views. We can help Carers:<\/p>\n
We can also refer you onto formal advocacy if you need it<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more information on how we can support you contact us on 0300 005 1213 (Durham) or\u00a00300 030 1215 (Darlington).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/forms.office.com\/Pages\/ResponsePage.aspx?id=vLDmQfs6PEiedxJCdjv3ahiDmmndhjZDu9OR-kUEwphUMEZMMTdMWVZPN1Y4SFA1WkVPM1dISjJOTS4u” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Sign up for Support” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”gcid-a843041b-35bb-405d-a2de-a4bb7e60834c” button_border_radius=”33px” button_icon=”5||divi||400″ button_on_hover=”off” custom_margin=”38px||||false|false” custom_css_main_element=”width: 100%;” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-a843041b-35bb-405d-a2de-a4bb7e60834c%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” module_id=”news” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||23px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n An advocate will not:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
