💬 **What is Statutory Advocacy?**

Everyone deserves to have their voice heard, their rights respected and to be involved in decisions about their own life. 💜

At **Solihull Action through Advocacy (SAtA)**, our independent advocates support eligible young people and adults with a learning disability or autism to understand their rights and have their views, wishes and feelings heard when important decisions are being made.

📢 **What support do we provide?**

Our Statutory Advocacy services include:

💜 **Care Act Advocacy** – Support during care assessments, care planning, reviews and safeguarding enquiries.

🏥 **IMCA (Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy)** – Support with certain important decisions about medical treatment, accommodation and care.

🔑 **IMCA DoLS** – Support for people who may be deprived of their liberty in a hospital or care home.

🗣️ **IMHA (Independent Mental Health Advocacy)** – Helping people understand their rights and take part in decisions about their mental health care and treatment.

❤️ **NHS Complaints Advocacy** – Support to understand the NHS complaints process and raise concerns about NHS care or treatment.

✨ **Why does advocacy matter?**

Statutory advocacy helps people understand information, express their wishes and participate in decisions that affect their lives. Our advocates are independent, helping ensure that each person's voice is heard.

📩 **Think you or someone you support may be eligible?** Contact SAtA for advice about eligibility and referrals. Some services require a referral from a health or social care professional, while NHS Complaints Advocacy allows people to self-refer.

Because **everyone deserves to be heard.** 💜

🎄✨ A festive day out we’re still smiling about! ✨🎄

Last year, we had the pleasure of taking a group of people we support to the Festive Gift Fair at the NEC and they absolutely LOVED it!

The Christmas atmosphere, friendly faces and warm welcome made it such a special day. Some told us it was the most Christmassy fun they’d had in a very long time!

What really stood out was how welcoming and inclusive everyone was. Seeing our group feel comfortable, included and free to enjoy themselves made the experience even more magical.

Looking for a day out to get you in the Christmas spirit? We can definitely recommend it! Gather your friends, family or support group and enjoy some festive fun together.

We’ll definitely be heading back this year who else is going? 🙌🎁

💬 ADVOCACY MYTH BUSTER!💬

❌ “I have to be in crisis before I can ask for support.”

This is a myth!🚫

You don’t have to wait until things reach crisis point before seeking advocacy support.

💜 Advocacy can help you:
✨ Understand your choices
✨ Express your views
✨ Make sure your voice is heard
✨ Feel supported when making important decisions

Asking for support early can help you feel more confident and empowered to have your say.

👉 You don't have to struggle alone.
