Service: Childrens' Rights (Advocacy)

An advocate is someone who a young person can confide in about their care. Volunteers are trained to visit young people regularly to discuss any issues they may have. The advocate can act on behalf of the young person and represent their concerns to the appropriate agencies and ensure that their rights are voiced and respected. The volunteer is a role model and someone who builds the confidence to enable the young person to talk freely.

The SOVA volunteer will:-

  • act independently of statutory agencies
  • develop a rapport with the young person
  • be good communicator
  • know childrens' rights
  • have the skills to bring issues to the appropriate authorities

SOVA is a Registered Charity (No.1073877) operating as a Limited Company (No.3645143)
