Advocacy for children

Advocacy is when someone helps you to share your views and make sure they are heard. This can be done by:

• Supporting you in meetings
• Meeting with you and listening to what you have to say
• Helping you to make a complain if you are not happy about something
• Helping you to pass on a compliment if you are really happy about something
• Provide you with information and advice about your rights
