| Annotation | Although an important means of enabling people with dementia to have much more self-determination, hitherto advocacy has largely been unavailable to them. This report is based on a project by Dementia North that has mapped dementia advocacy nationally and undertaken 7 case studies of community and hospital based advocacy services. The report is in six chapters, the first of which sets the scene and the policy context in which advocacy schemes operate. Chapter 2 discusses the practice of dementia advocacy, highlighting the ethical and operational challenges. Chapter 3, on setting up an advocacy service, covers the initial identification of need through the early stages of generating support, and determining the parameters of the service. Later chapters focus on management structures and tasks, staffing, and issues in ongoing service development. An appendix lists services offering general and dementia advocacy support, and the organisations comprising the Dementia Services Development Centres network. (RH). |
