| Annotation | Advocacy at its simplest means "speaking up", on one's own behalf or on behalf of others. The overall purpose of this review was to look at advocacy across the board and across all user groups. In particular it aimed to: explore recent and current developments; identify good practices; clarify strengths and weaknesses; locate gaps in provision; draw out key themes and issues; and suggest changes in policy and practice. Suggestions arising directly from the review included: a legal right to advocacy; a national advocacy network; long-term funding to support advocacy; guidelines for advocacy organisations, including codes of practice for recruitment, selection, training and supervision; recognised and accredited training in advocacy leading to a qualification; legal status for advocates; and involving users at every level. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) has supported this project as part of its programme of research and innovative development projects, which it hopes will be of value to policy makers and practitioners.
