Types of Advocacy

Instructed Advocacy

 This occurs when the client, has the capacity to make decisions and can clearly communicate their wishes and preferences.  

Non Instructed Advocacy

This is used when a person is unable to communicate their wishes or lacks the capacity to make specific decisions. In such cases, the advocate seeks to uphold the individual's rights and ensure their best interests are considered, even without direct instruction 

from the client. 

Statutory Advocacy

This refers to legally mandated advocacy services that support certain vulnerable groups, like those detained under the Mental Health Act or lacking mental capacity where they have a right to an advocate. These services help people understand their rights, express their views, and make informed decisions, particularly in cases

where they may be vulnerable or face barriers to communication.

Non Statutory Advocacy

This a type of advocacy that is not required by law but is provided to support individuals in expressing their views, making decisions, and accessing services. It is often used in situations where people may struggle to have their voices heard, such as in healthcare, social services, or community settings. Unlike statutory advocacy, which is legally mandated (e.g., under the Mental Capacity Act or Care Act), non-statutory advocacy is typically offered by charities or independent organisations.
