Understanding when and when not to undertake non-instructed advocacy is an integral part of an advocate’s professional development. When communication becomes difficult or impossible, it is important to consider that service users who require non-instructed advocacy have the same rights as any other service user.
This course is recommended for advocacy professionals who already undertake non-instructed advocacy, or advocates wishing to develop their understanding to be able to do so.
Typically, an advocate will be able to listen to the service user to determine how they're feeling and what their wishes and feelings are. Sometimes though, a service user may not be able to give a clear indication of what they're feeling, or what they want to happen. In this instance, non-instructed advocacy can be fully or partially used to help ensure their rights are upheld, and decision-makers actively consider their perceived preferences and perspective.
In this session, we introduce learners to a six-stage Referral to Influence framework. Upon completion of the training, learners will:
Understand how to use and apply the framework
.Triage a potential non-instructed advocacy referral.
Distinguish between instructed, partially instructed and non-instructed routes.
Identify proportionate communication adjustments.
Create a proportionate, rights-based evidence-gathering plan.
Produce and follow up on a person-centred, evidence-led report.
This non-instructed advocacy training will be delivered via a live, interactive webinar. The training session will be delivered by a member of our highly experienced training team.
