Create a national advocacy support service for UK veterans

Closed 98 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe there is a need for a new support service that understands the unique challenges of the Veterans community. We would like the Government to work with Veterans and Local Authorities to create a national advocacy support service for UK veterans, to better support veterans.
Advocacy is key to enabling people to have their voice heard and their rights upheld. It promotes empowerment, and provides practical help when needed. If the Government created Statutory Advocacy services for veterans these could provide one to one support and reduce the negative mental and physical impact experienced by some when they need to engage with organisations such as Government departments, service providers, charities or Local Authorities.
