It can be difficult to describe all the different ways in which an advocate can support a client. We have found two quotes that we feel explain the role of an advocate and what it is they are trying to achieve.

    

 
 
When an advocate supports a person they always place that person at the very centre of the service.  The following picture shows the range of different outcomes that we are always working towards.

 

We want the client to be included in all of the things that they do; to have control over their lives, to be dealt with fairly gaining a level of independence, to be treated on an equal basis, having flexibility within their lives, to become empowered to make choices and sometimes to be encouraged to take risks.
