Advocacy Training
If you are an advocate now's the time to get qualified
More and more contracts in the advocacy sector are requiring qualified advocates. For your project or organisation, having an advocacy qualification will give you a much needed advantage when it comes to new tenders. And for you as an advocate, having a recognised advocacy qualification will give you an advantage when you apply for advocacy positions in the future.

How do we advocate for someone unable to express their wishes in a way we can understand? Asist argues that quality advocacy is a right for every citizen, even where there is little or no communication and, in 1995, developed a policy for advocates working in non-instructed situations.
Asist argues that creative communication is everyone's responsibility. For people whose primary mode of communication is not verbal we need to explore the many ways that individuals can effectively communicate.
Asist has worked closely with people with learning disabilities and specialists such as speech and language therapists to develop tools for creative communication. Using established techniques and a range of existing and new tools, we promote creative communication to support the involvement of people in decision making processes.
