Welcome

... to the website of Independent Advocacy

We represent the interests of people who may find it difficult to be heard or speak out for themselves. These can include older people, those with disabilities and those with mental health problems.

With the support of trained staff, we provide an advocacy and appointee service. This gives a voice to people who need support to make their own choices because they are frail or disabled or because of financial or social circumstances. It also enables them to have their individual needs and views respected and acted upon.

We offer a free professional service for adult residents of North Warwickshire, South Warwickshire and Rugby Borough who are known to the disability, older people’s and learning disability services. We are funded by Warwickshire Adult Health and Community Services and Warwickshire Primary Care Trust.

We have over 14 years of expertise and, for those people who do not meet the contracted criteria, our services can be purchased by individuals and other organisations.
