Importance of Independent Advocacy
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the publication of the Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance's report, Towards the Future: A brief history of advocacy in Scotland; notes that the report highlights the growth and development of independent advocacy in Scotland; believes that best practice in the delivery of independent advocacy is steadily improving; affirms the importance of both NHS and local authorities following the guidance for commissioners; welcomes the increased availability of independent advocacy for the most vulnerable members of society, and considers that there is a need for wider availability of independent advocacy for all who need it in Edinburgh Northern and Leith and throughout Scotland so that they can lead fuller and more independent lives.
