For Advocacy Awareness Week 2023 we went back to basics and surveyed 80 people to find out what they really think advocacy is.
There were a wide range of responses from:
- Advocates
- Advocacy providers
- People who have accessed advocacy, their families and friends
- Self-advocates
- Commissioners of advocacy
- Others who work alongside advocates
The following five short films share some of their responses:
What is advocacy to you?
What kinds of things do advocates do?
What advocates don’t do
How does advocacy help people?
Why is advocacy important to you?
