This manual was produced to support volunteers on the citizen advocacy project. It is an additional resource for them to refer to after initial training. While ideas and suggestions are given in the manual, we recognise that each situation that may arise for someone with learning disabilities is unique. We encourage our volunteers to seek support and to share ideas throughout their advocacy partnership.
