Annotation	In the context of Opaal's work, advocacy is defined as being "a one-to-one partnership between a trained, independent advocate and an older person who needs support in order to secure or exercise their rights, choices and interests". This report focuses on four discussions covering: guidance on good practice and examples of quality frameworks; evidence basis for advocacy; the case for independent advocacy as a right, and examples of older people's involvement in the promotion of independent advocacy; and funding sources.
