North Lanarkshire Advocacy Project

All 6 localities – independent advocacy to adults aged 18 to 64 who live in North Lanarkshire and have a disability, long term condition or addiction. Advocacy is provided by a team of caseworkers on a 1:1 basis and is issue based.

We work with adults who have learning disabilities, mental ill health, addictions, long term conditions or physical disability. Our advocacy partners often have contact with either Health or Social Work Services and/or are subject to Social Policy legislation such as the Mental Health Act, The Adult Support and Protection Act or the Adults with Incapacity Act.

Can self refer using form on website. The service has an open and confidential referral policy. Anyone can refer in any way that suits them, this can be the person themselves, a family member or any type of worker.
