The People's Advocacy Service

Our Services

Our Advocacy Services are:

Free - There is no charge made to people who use our services. We are commissioned to provide our services free of charge.  We are a non-profit organisation.

Independent - Your interests are our priority. We do not have a vested interest and always seek to minimise conflicts of interest. Your advocate is there solely for you, and is not part of any Care Team or Case Management process that does not directly involve you.

Confidential - We do not share information with any third party about you without your consent. You and you alone have access at all times to all the information we hold on you.

Person Centred - The advocacy we provide puts you, and what you want to say, achieve, or contribute, at the centre. We believe every person is an individual, with something to say. If you have communication difficulties our Person Centred approach helps you to have a voice.

The People's Advocacy Service gratefully acknowledge the financial support of Dumfries and Galloway NHS, Dumfries and Galloway Council, The Scottish Government, The Scottish Community Foundation and private donors.
