'Advocacy makes you feel brave': Advocacy support for children and young people in Scotland
This report presents the findings from a scoping study into advocacy support for children and young people. The research was commissioned by the Scottish Government in order to find what advocacy services are available in Scotland, where they are and the circumstances in which they are available and to which groups of children and young people. A total of 39 face to face or telephone interviews were undertaken with representatives of voluntary organisations and local authorities which directly provide advocacy services or have expertise in the needs of particular groups of children and young people. In addition, interviews were undertaken with representatives of national agencies. A range of other organisations provided information or informal contributions.
