Anyone working, or planning to work, as an advocate for people who
need help in dealing with public services will want to read this
book. Advocacy is an area of increasing importance in service
provision, especially in the voluntary sector. New ways of working
have to be found that increasingly create an enabling, rather than
a providing, state and advocacy has an important part to play in
this shift. Based on the experience of real advocates and using
case studies based on real practice issues, "Speaking to power" is
written in a vivid, jargon-free style that will make it an
enjoyable read for professionals, students and lay people alike. As
well as practical chapters on 'what advocates do', using case
studies from Scotland where important developments are taking
place, the book discusses how advocacy fits into the broader scheme
of things. It describes and discusses examples of advocacy, both
for individuals and for groups, with chapters dealing with
management, training and evaluation of the work. It concludes with
a thought-provoking discussion of various strategies which help
vulnerable people speak to power on more equal terms. "Speaking to
power" will be particularly helpful to advocates working with
people who have mental health difficulties or learning
difficulties, for doctors, nurses and social workers involved in
this work, and for students preparing to enter those professions.
It will also be of interest to students of social policy and other
readers concerned about Britain's broader social and political
development.
