What is Individual
Advocacy?
"To advocate" means to
promote, protect and secure the rights of another
person.
The Individual Advocates at
CiWDA
will help you to make sure that your rights are
recognised and respected. An advocate will "stand
beside" you and support you so you can make your own
decisions and get what you need. We help people to
stand up for their rights, for example, when people
have problems with housing, immigration, school, work
and disability services.
When you contact
CiWDA,
an Individual Advocate will ask you questions about
your situation and the support you need and will
listen to your answers. If you need an interpreter the
Individual Advocate will arrange one. You and your
Individual Advocate will make a plan together about
what to do.
