4. Advocacy is designed to support people who have trouble accessing services or are not aware of their rights. Health or social care workers will often act as advocates for their clients or patients within the system, and family members will often act as advocates for those they care for. However, sometimes support is needed from somebody who does not have to worry about other interests such as their own, their employer's or their colleagues - someone who can be on one side only. People who rely on care services often have no such support and no knowledge of how to find it.
5. Further information around these issues is available in the Executive's Review of Funding for Black and Minority Ethnic Groups in the Voluntary Sector, January 2001.
