Disability Advocacy

People with disabilities often find it difficult to make their voices heard. We can listen to them and speak out for them, using our experience and specialist communication skills.

We provide services for people aged 18 to 64 in the following categories:

• People with physical impairments, including visual impairment, hearing impairments and acquired brain injuries
• People with learning disabilities
• People who have physical impairments and learning disabilities
• People caring for an adult with learning disabilities

Using our services

Most of our cases are referred to us by social workers and local primary care teams from Adult Health and Community Services or our local Primary Care Trusts. However, we can also accept referrals from carers, or self-referrals, particularly when support is needed with the services provided by the above agencies.

How we work

We work in partnership with our clients to support them in communicating their needs, securing their rights, representing their interests and obtaining the services they need.

Our services are:

• Independent
• Confidential
• Free to adults known to adult disability and older people services throughout Warwickshire
