Advocacy Awareness Training Resources
Advocacy is essential in health and social care because it protects people’s rights, promotes equality and ensures individuals are heard when they may struggle to express their own wishes. People who need advocacy are often those at highest risk of harm or exclusion which is why accurate, high‑quality training is vital.
This fully editable resource is ideal for trainers, care providers, local authority teams, advocacy organisations, teachers and assessors who deliver training on rights, safeguarding, equality and person‑centred practice. It explains what advocacy is, when it is required and how staff can recognise the signs that someone needs an advocate. It also covers the principles of effective advocacy and the responsibilities of practitioners, providers and advocates.
The pack is written in a clear, professional and sector‑relevant style and is suitable for induction, CPD and formal training delivery. All documents are fully editable and can be adapted to suit your own training approach.

• Two complete presentations with built‑in activities
