Support in the Right Direction

Circles Network Advocacy

Circles Network Advocacy provides people and their carers with independent advocacy on social care and self-directed support in Inverclyde and Moray, to ensure their voices are heard and they are fully involved throughout their journey. This includes providing relevant information on available options, facilitating communication with social work, help to prepare for assessments, construct support plans, become an employer or find support. Volunteer advocates with lived experience help people to make informed choices and local information sessions raise awareness of self-directed support.
