Advocacy Awareness Week 1st-7th November

The National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) launch their 4th annual Advocacy Awareness Week on 1st November. The aim is to remind people about what advocacy is, how it works best and how it has already helped people to live their lives.

This year’s theme is Advocacy in Action and each day is themed around the different principles outlined in the Advocacy Charter:

1st Nov:  Clarity of Purpose & Independence
2nd Nov: Empowerment & Person Led
3rd Nov:  Accessibility & Equality & Diversity
4th Nov:  Confidentiality & Accountability
5th Nov:  Upholding Rights & Safety & Supporting Advocates

During the week many advocacy organisations, advocates and people who have benefited from these services will be sharing their stories in a variety of formats online using the hashtags #AAW21, #AdvocacyinAction and #hearmyvoice.
