Speaking Out

We think it is important for you to speak out about what you want from services and to help you make decisions and choices for yourself.

In Nottinghamshire we have people who can help you to do this.

Independent advocacy is offered by groups who can support you but are not part of the County Council.

Two groups who offer independent advocacy in Nottinghamshire are the Nottingham & Notts Advocacy Alliance (NNAA) and Speaking Up.

In day services we have service user groups who can help you to speak out, Members of these groups help each other to think about changes and choices in their lives.

You can have a person centred plan which can help you to speak out and make changes in your life and we can help you to make your plan.
