General Recommendations from a meeting on the 17th of June regarding the Advocacy Service for STTCs

Arising from the Meeting, the following recommendations were put forward:

1. There was a need to employ more Advocates in order to provide all Centres with this service.
2. The need for an agreed definition for progression. It should not be seen as obtaining employment solely.
3. A clear definition of advocacy needs to be developed.
4. The general principles/philosophy of the STTC should be enshrined in the working ethos of the advocacy programme.
5. Centres greater than 50 places should have access to two Advocates.
6. The Advocate posts should be full time with agreed terms and conditions.
7. There needs to be a support service developed to support the work of the Advocate.
8. Advocates should be seen as crucial to the Centre team and should be involved in all matters associated with the development of the Centre.
9. An induction programme needs to be developed for newly appointed Advocates.
10. More national meetings for Advocates and Directors.
