Through our policy work we aim to make sure that the Scottish Government, NHS Boards, local authorities and all those who deliver and influence the provision of independent advocacy are aware of and take account of:

•    the opportunities and challenges facing independent advocacy; and,
•    what decision makers can do to improve the accessibility and availability of independent advocacy.

In this section of our website you can learn about the SIAA’s policy work and how you can get involved.

We always welcome contributions from members who want to get more involved in our policy work. For more information about how you can take part visit our Getting Involved page.
