Description

The Authority wishes to create an Advocacy Hub ("the Hub). The primary role of the Hub will be to meet all statutory requirements on the Authority for the provision of independent advocacy under the terms of the Care Act 2014, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Mental Health Act 2007 across all categories of need, including adults with learning disabilities, dementia, mental health needs, acquired brain injury, physical and sensory impairment and young people in transition to adult services.

The Hub will also be required to provide leadership in respect of wider advocacy matters across the town, working in partnership with the voluntary and community sector and advice providers to ensure that the concept of advocacy is understood and that support is available to all citizens who may have genuine difficulty articulating or negotiating their needs and personal goals.
