Advocacy
Courses for advocates focus on raising awareness and equipping people with the skills they need to effectively manage their own boundaries and to keep their professional relationships safe.
We have run courses for ICAS advocates on 'handling allegations of sexualised behaviour by health staff', which is a recommendation of the Ayling and the Kerr/Haslam inquiries.
WITNESS feeds in our own experience of providing advocacy and incorporates feedback from our advocacy training participants to make each course as relevant and up to date as can be.
We have trained advocates working in a wide variety of settings, including people working with older people, people using mental health services, people with learning disabilities and people using residential care services.
