EXCELLENCE


Dorset Advocacy is committed to excellence in all areas of its work. This page details some of the ways in which we are carrying this commitment forward.

Quality award for Dorset Advocacy


In Summer 2010 we were awarded the national Quality Performance Mark (QPM) by Action for Advocacy.  We were one of the first 25 schemes in the country to have received the award, and only the third to gain specific recognition for our Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA) service.  See Assessors comments>


Independent supervision for Advocates and Advocacy Managers

Dorset Advocacy offers independent supervision to advocates, IMCAs and Advocacy Managers from other organisations.  Independent supervision is delivered by experienced team members Sheryl Seeley and Michael Pochin.  More >

Working with Advocacy Information for health and community care agencies

Over the past 18 months we have been working with local health and community care agencies, and with national body Action for Advocacy, to develop a guide to how health and care providers can engage effectively with independent advocates.

Investors In People Accreditation

Our Investors In People was very positive. The assessment was conducted on the 23rd and 24th of August through a series of on-site one to one interviews and telephone interviews with a cross section of staff and volunteers.  More >

Investors In Volunteers Accreditation

We are delighted to announce that Dorset advocacy has been awarded the Investors In volunteers mark by volunteering England. This award confirms that our organization has high standards in the way we recruit, train, support and includes Volunteers.
