SIAA AGM 2008The Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance (SIAA) was set up as a result of the work undertaken by its predecessor, Advocacy 2000, a three-year project set up to look at the needs of the Advocacy Movement in Scotland, and how these could be supported in the future.

The SIAA is devoted to the promotion, support and defence of Independent Advocacy in Scotland. It is a membership organisation that has the overall aim of ensuring that Independent advocacy is available to any vulnerable person in Scotland.

Its functions include:

  • providing information and support to the membership, who are made up of local Independent and Non-Independent Advocacy organisations, voluntary sector organisations, statutory agencies and other interested parties.
  • working as a central agency to gather and distribute information.
  • representing advocacy organisations at various levels.
  • raising awareness and understanding of Independent Advocacy across Scotland.
  • ensuring that the Independent Advocacy movement’s ‘voice’ is heard at a national level to influence current and future practice and policy.
  • providing training on Independent Advocacy and related issues.

We have produced a leaflet explaining what the SIAA is, and the work that we do.  Download it here.
