Policy and Campaigns
There has been a notable rise and prominence of advocacy in recent government legislation and policy. We aim to ensure the advocacy sector is informed of current policy and legislative developments and can influence and raise awareness of advocacy within policy.
For all latest policy news, see our latest advocacy news pages.
Action for Advocacy (A4A) regularly responds to consultations on aspects of government policy which have implications for advocacy services and the people who use them.
By doing this we aim to encourage a greater understanding of advocacy within government and promote increased opportunities for people to access advocacy and for the sector to develop.
