An Advocate is someone who is on your side, but there are some situations they cannot change. However they will always make sure the right people know how you feel.
An Advocate is independent from social services, your local council and children’s services. They work on your behalf and are there to be on your side. You can trust your Advocate and tell them anything. They won’t tell anyone else unless you ask them to or unless you are in danger.
An Advocate will listen to you and help with any concerns you have whilst living in care. An Advocate’s only concern is making sure that you are happy and safe.
If you would like an Advocate, you can download a referral form right here. Simply fill it in and email it back to us. You can also ask your social worker to do this on your behalf if you wish.
You can also call our Children and Young Person’s Helpline on 0300 323 0965 for more information, or speak to us online now via our Live Chat.
