We DO

Support you to access information regarding your care and treatment and/or what services may be available to you.

• Let you know what your rights are to allow you to make informed choices and decisions about issues which may affect your life.
• Ensure you views and opinions are heard and respected.

 We DON'T

Give advice. Advocacy is about supporting you to make your own decisions and choices not telling you what you should do.

 Take referrals specifically for:

• Benefits
• Debt
• Housing

However, if we are already working with a person who needs help with these issues we will refer on as required and provide advocacy support. 

But, if you refer yourself or someone else to our service for an issue that is beyond our remit we will try to sign post on to a more appropriate organisation.

 Training & awareness talks.

If you would like to find out more about Advocacy or the service that Forth Valley Advocacy provides our team can provide talks and training. To enquire about arranging talks or training please contact us at our Larbert office on 01324 557070
