Dumfries And Galloway Advocacy Service

About

Independent Advocacy is about empowering people involved in using or receiving services. We work within Dumfries and Galloway to express our clients' views, wishes, and feelings. We are as free from conflict of interest as possible and work separately from other services. the views of service providers do not influence our actions. Dumfries and Galloway Advocacy Service will help clients understand what might be happening in their lives and support them to take control of their circumstances by empowering them to help themselves. We will use listening skills to help clients think through their problems or find information that will help them make informed choices and decisions. Independent Advocates can also speak on a client’s behalf if they feel unable to do so, making sure others fully understand their thoughts, feelings and wishes, but also make sure the client understands what may be said to them or about them.
