Welcome to Dorset Advocacy

Dorset Advocacy’s independent advocates help to ensure that rights are upheld and that peoples’ views, wishes and needs are heard, respected and acted upon.

• Advocates take action to help people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests and get the services they need.
• Advocacy promotes inclusion, equality and social justice.
• We help a wide range of people, including those with learning difficulties, long term health conditions,  dementia or memory loss as well as their families, carers and support staff.
• Our Appropriate Adult service is led by an amazing team of volunteers. Without them, this project would not be able to operate. They support people in Police Custody.
