Tameside Carers Advocacy

Advocacy Experience delivers an Advocacy Service to Carers of people with Mental Health Issues in Tameside. This service is referral based; if you would like to make a referral please use the details below (if you are professional please ensure you have the consent from the carer before making a referral).

The Advocacy Service aims to provide the following:

  • Support and representation of carers views and wishes
  • Empowerment of carers to self-advocate (ie represent their own views with minimal advocacy support)
  • Signposting to relevant agencies for information and other support

If you are a carer of a person with mental health issues please complete our survey

This is a new advocacy service (September 2009) and as such we would like to know how you would like the service to develop. As well as attending Carers events and forums where you can talk to us we have developed a short survey that will help us to focus our energy on developing a service that you want. Please take 5 minutes to complete the survey below. Thank you for your time.
