Advocacy Counts 5 - Finding out what advocacy is available to older people in Wales

Advocacy Counts 5 is the fifth in the series of reports highlighting what the provision of advocacy is for older people in Wales.

Age Cymru would be very grateful if you could take 10 minutes to complete this survey by clicking on the link below (1 competed survey per organisation please). Please complete the survey by the 1st December 2015.

Please circulate to anyone else you may know who provides advocacy to older people (including statutory providers) as we need to get the best possible picture of current provision.

The data will be used to assess the current situation with regard to advocacy provision for older people in Wales. Age Cymru will compare the data from this survey with previous Advocacy Counts reports as part of our ongoing work to improve access to independent advocacy for older people.

Your views and opinions gathered in this survey are important. They help to build a body of evidence that can be used to influence the development and sustainability of services. The evidence can highlight gaps in services, develop a Wales wide and a local view on availability which can be used to influence local service commissioners and funders.

In April 2016 the Social Services and Wellbeing Wales Act will be implemented. Part 10, Chapter 3 is about advocacy provisions, therefore it is important to understand the current advocacy landscape across Wales and what changes the Act will make to that for older people and for service providers. Your responses will help us to map out what that landscape looks like.
