Independent Advocacy safeguards people who are vulnerable and discriminated against or whom services find difficult to serve, empowering people who need a stronger voice by enabling them to express their own needs and make their own decisions.

The Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance (SIAA) promotes, supports and defends the principles and practice of Independent Advocacy across Scotland. The SIAA does this by:

• Providing a strong national voice for Independent Advocacy organisations
• Supporting the growth of existing Independent Advocacy organisations
• Promoting the development of new Independent Advocacy organisations
• Encouraging existing advocacy organisations towards independence
