This online learning module is for anyone working in adult services who is involved in the assessment, care planning, review processes and safeguarding arrangements of individuals, and is to introduce you to the concept of ‘independent advocacy’, as set out in the Care Act 2014.
Under the Care Act 2014 the role of the independent advocate is to support an individual or carer to understand information, express their needs and wishes, secure their rights, represent their interests and support them to obtain the care and support they need. |
