Over the last year the SIAA have been working with The Stroke Association to develop advocacy for people who have been affected by stroke.  As a result of this work four advocacy organisations took part in pilots to deliver advocacy to this group.

The results of the pilots were detailed in a conference held in Perth in February.

Along with the provision of advocacy one of the participating organisations, Advocacy Highland , developed training for advocates working with those affected by stroke.  This has been further developed and a training pack has now been published by SIAA in partnership with the Stroke Association. 

The documents can be downloaded from our website.  For more information about the training pack contact enquiry@siaa.org.uk .  SIAA Members have been sent paper copies and an electronic version can be found on the SIAA website.
