Advocacy

Advocacy

Advocacy is about speaking on someone’s behalf or supporting them to speak directly to those in power in order to make a case and influence decisions that will affect them.

CSSW recognises the importance of advocacy in supporting children and parents to participate in decision making.

The CSSW Advocacy policy provides information on advocacy, including the role of advocates, when families may need advocates and who can advocate for them. It also sets out some principles and standards of practice for those undertaking the advocacy role.
