Advocacy development project
This work involves sharing good practice ideas between groups. We look at different ways to support those who are interested in advocacy by offering lots of information.
You can download some policies to help advocacy groups in their work. These
include confidentiality policy, complaints procedure, working with vulnerable
adults guidance and lots more. These policies are available for groups to use
and adapt in ways that will suit them in their local areas.
Below are the policies available for downloading in PDF format:

'Your guide to advocacy' book
Asist, an advocacy organisation in Staffordshire wrote a book about advocacy to help their clients
understand better what they could expect from their advocate.
We at BILD thought this book was a good idea so we worked with Asist to make
a few changes so that the book could be used by any advocacy group.
We have had lots of these books printed and we are sending a copy to each
advocacy group that we know to see what people think about them. The idea is
that each person that has an advocate will be given a book to help them
understand about advocacy. We think this will save groups having to produce
their own individual information. It will work out much cheaper for everyone.
If you want to order this book you please email us at
enquiries@bild.org.uk
They will cost £1 each. You can print your own labels and stick them on the back
cover so that anyone you give a book to will know how to contact you.
Advocacy for people with high support needs
BILD is keen to find ways of making sure that advocacy is accessible to all people, including those with high support needs or significant barriers to communication.
Asist, an advocacy organisation in Staffordshire, have produced “The Watching Brief” which gives some guidance on how this may be achieved. If you have any other ideas we would be pleased to hear about them.
If you want to know more about this brief please email us at
enquiries@bild.org.uk.
