Self Directed Support (SDS) Advocacy


Do you need support to prepare for a Social Work Assessment?
​
Do you need support to challenge a decision?


What is Advocacy?
Advocacy is about having someone to support you to have your voice heard. We will help you to express your views and wishes, and to stand up for your rights. 

Why use our SDS advocacy trained staff
Our trained staff offer specialised knowledge about the self directed support process and can guide, support or advise you when exploring what level support can work for you. Whether preparing for an assessment, considering what care Option is right for you, recruiting your own personal assistant or challenging what you have been awarded we are here to help. 


We offer support in many forms:
* Filling in carer support plans.
* Helping you identify what a day in your life looks like and create a visual of this for the assessment or review.
* HR support and guidance.
* Representation to identify your rights and outcomes during an assessment.
* Time to explore what is right for you.
* Assist you to find community resources.
* community brokerage where we look at your whole situation and explore what route is right for you.
* Help to make an informed choice around the 4 care Options available to you.
* Assist you to make formal complaints to appeal decisions made. 
* Help you to present the best possible case to social work in order to adjust your hours or care package.



If you're unhappy with the level of care you receive and you need an advocate to help you complain, you're entitled to have one. We are here to offer our FREE support so please get in touch.
