| Expansion
of Generic Service in Staffordshire
|
Due
to changes in care provision in Staffordshire, Asist has been funded
by Staffordshire County Council to expand its generic services. The extra advocates will be able to offer advocacy support to
people who are affected by the Changing Lives Programme. Advocates will work with residents to voice their views and
wishes at assessments and reviews, etc.
