Advocacy Awareness Week 7th -11th November 2022
The 5th annual Advocacy Awareness Week (#AAW22) takes place from 7th -11th November 2022.
This year's theme will show how advocates support people in relation to their human rights; each day will shine a light on an element of the Human Rights Act and what this means for each of us in our lives.
The week-long campaign is coordinated by the National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) and this year is supported by The British Institute for Human Rights, as well as by independent advocacy providers across the UK. Human rights are basic rights everyone can expect, and public authorities have a legal duty to respect and protect them. Protecting Human Rights should run through all care and support services, ensuring people are involved in decisions about their care.
Our advocacy teams will be visiting hospitals and foodbanks across Brighton & Hove and West Sussex to promote advocacy, raise awareness about how it can help support people to protect their rights and let people know how they can access our service.
They will also be at Jubilee Library, on Jubilee Street, Brighton, on Thursday 10th November from 10-1 if anyone would like to drop in and speak with them.
