Self Advocacy

A self advocacy service across the BCP area for people with a learning disability so they can individually and collectively speak up for themselves through a strong self advocacy network. This will be delivered through information, self advocacy and signposting services. The service will enable people with learning disabilities to have influence in the shaping of local health and council services. This will be delivered by supporting self-advocates through the work of the Big Plan (Learning Disabilities Strategy) and to attend and support the ongoing development of the BCP Learning Disability Partnership Board and associated groups, including the Dorset Health Action Group
