Sensory advocacy shaped by your choices
Our Sensory Advocacy Service supports Deaf people, Hard of Hearing people, Deafened people, Deafblind individuals, people with Severe Sight Impairment, Sight Impairment, and those with dual sensory loss.
Our Advocacy Workers make sure your choices, views and rights are listened to and upheld. We help you access information, understand your options and take control of important decisions in your life. We work only when and how you decide, and we never make decisions for you.
We can support you to
- Prepare for and attend meetings
- Understand letters, bills or benefits
- Complete forms
- Make phone calls
- Deal with problems at work or debt issues
- Ensure your rights to communication support are respected
- Get support with health appointments
These are examples only. Support is always tailored to your needs.
Service user feedback: "Being able to talk to someone who really listens and makes sure I am understood has taken away so much stress."
