Reconstruct offers advocacy services to children and young people in care and care leavers to support getting your voice heard.
Advocacy allows you to have your views, wishes and feelings heard when important decisions are being made that will affect your life.
You have a right to be listened to and have your views taken seriously. Sometimes, it can be difficult to express how you feel, and you may think that your voice isn’t getting heard.
Our Advocates are here to support this, they will be on your side and do not work for Carers or Children Services – they are here just for you!
Advocates are independent and do not work for your carers or children’s services. They are only there for you and are completely independent and are always on your side.
They do not make decisions for you, offer legal advice or give personal opinions but what they do is:
You can ask your social worker, or someone you trust to contact us on your behalf, or you can self refer too. To find out who your advocacy provider is visit https://www.nyas.net/get-support/support-for-young-people/advocacy-search/
If you are part of Brighter futures for children, Bristol, Gloucestershire, Milton Keynes, South Gloucestershire, we are your provider contact us on 0800 3891 571 or email advocacy@reconstruct.co.uk
