AnnotationThe value of independent advocacy is that it supports older people in feeling empowered and. enabling them to access appropriate services. However, access to independent advocacy still varies across England and Wales. This manifesto sets out a series of core beliefs relating to advocacy services, and is particularly relevant to the process of personalisation and self-directed support. It states that older people should not have to pay for access to independent advocacy from personal budgets (PBs). (RH)
