Learning Outcomes:
Advocacy is about enabling people to say what they want, obtaining their rights and gaining the services that they need. Unpaid carers are entitled to be in control of their lives but sometimes, they may find themselves in a position where their ability to exercise choice or represent their own interests is limited. In these circumstances an advocate can help to make sure that the persons views are heard, respected and acted upon.
Upon completion of the course participants will be able to:
- Understand the purpose of advocacy.
- Demonstrate the key principles of advocacy as applied to unpaid carers.
- Determine and design a code of practice for advocates working with and for unpaid carers.
- Understand the different advocacy models.
- Understand other forms of carer support.
- Locate appropriate advocacy services for unpaid carers
