There is a law called the ‘Care Act‘ and it aims to put people and their carers in control of their care and support.
Some people find making decisions about their care and health needs difficult. These people can have an advocate under the Care Act.
Independent advocacy must be made available to people who have ‘substantial difficulty’ in being fully involved in the care and support process:
- Care assessment
- Care and support planning and care reviews
- Safeguarding enquiries
- Safeguarding adult reviews
