Independent Advocacy Plan 2024-29

South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership's Independent Advocacy Plan is a new plan that has been developed to ensure people in South Ayrshire have their voice heard, can express their needs, make informed decisions, and have their rights and interests protected. The Plan takes us from 2024-29 and has been informed by the Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance, guidance from the Independent Advocacy Guide for Commissioners from the Scottish Government (2013) and by engaging with advocacy providers, people who use independent advocacy services, their carers, staff, and families.

The HSCP has prepared a Plan document which is available below, together with documents containing information and evidence gathered during the preparation of the Plan:
