As the current Advocacy Strategy comes to an
end in 2015, the strategy has been refreshed and is being submitted
to the Executive for approval. In addition to the period of the
existing strategy ending, local authorities now have additional
duties to provide access to independent advocacy under the Care Act
2014 and therefore the new strategy has been refreshed to take
account of these changes.
