| about
the project |
In South Staffordshire we provide a generic
service for anyone with a disability living in the SSHA area.
Although generic in nature, the service is dominated mainly by
referrals for people with learning disabilities or mental health
needs. The work varies enormously but will include people wanting
support with a doctor's meeting, requiring help and representation
at reviews, wanting to make complaints against services, help with
accommodation issues, liaising with relatives and carers and support
in community care plans and care programme approaches.
The generic part of the project is
split into three areas and supplies a paid advocate covering each
area. Additionally, there is a paid advocate covering the SE part of
the area who specialises in Mental Health issues.
The generic project also offers advocacy to those
affected by the Staffordshire Changing Lives Programme. |
