Hello, I just like to know is there an independent Advocate I can privately pay to help me do some letters. I am a parent of my son who is 38years old living in a care settings. I need help because there are a lot of bullying and controlling against us and I need to know where I stand and what to do. I know Advocate are provided for the someone with learning difficulty and I am not but I do need help because I am so stress emotionally to deal with it or even know what to write.
Thank you
Carolyn

As you say, advocacy is usually for people with a learning disability. There is a bit about it on our website here - mencap.org.uk/advice-and-su...
