SUMMARY:Peer Learn: Reaching our communities
DESCRIPTION:Are you finding it difficult to connect with the communities you aim to support? Do your messages or activities sometimes fail to reach the people who need them most? \nJoin other SIAA members for an interactive\, workshop-style session designed to explore the challenges of community engagement within the independent advocacy sector. This Teams session will focus on identifying the barriers that prevent effective communication and connection with target communities. \nThis is a space for collective learning\, where participants can share real-world challenges and learn from one another.

SUMMARY:Peer support: Thinking about OUR wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:This is the second session in our wellbeing-focused peer support series. In this session\, we will begin by thinking about how teams can work in ways that support wellbeing more directly. \nThis is time out for people working in independent advocacy to have an opportunity to share their experience and learn some practical ways of supporting wellbeing at work. The session is open to everyone: individual and collective advocates\, administration & support staff\, managers\, chief executives\, volunteers\, and any other worker at SIAA member organisation. \nIf you’re reading this\, you’re invited! \nThe three wellbeing-focused sessions are intended as a ‘package’\, though you are welcome to attend any single one\, as each will be useful on its own. In the first session we focused on ourselves as individuals\, and the group will decide what we focus on for the final session. \nEach session will include a short (10 minutes or less) presentation by our facilitator\, Joette Thomas\, and lots of opportunity for small and large group discussion. \nClick the link below to register for the upcoming session: \nhttps://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/0de0c0f5-0a53-4aa4-85b5-2ab713c70aff@612a10a7-495a-4536-ae3a-adb2b8051f65

SUMMARY:Connecting Voices: Exploring Networks in Independent Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:SIAA’s Annual Conference 2025\nThis October\, we warmly invite you to the SIAA’s Annual Conference titled “Connecting Voices: Exploring Networks in Independent Advocacy”. \nIt is a gathering of all 32 SIAA member organisations to reflect\, connect\, and shape the future of independent advocacy in Scotland. This year\, we’ll focus on exploring the role of relationships in the independent advocacy sector – within and beyond our membership. \nTogether\, we will: \n\nRecognise and celebrate the strengths and thriving relationships already present\nReflect on the purpose of independent advocacy in a changing policy landscape\nConsider independence of advocacy\, and how it interacts with collaboration and external partnerships\nEngage in horizon scanning to anticipate future challenges and opportunities\nConnect over a shared meal\, and build new relationships across the network\n\nWe invite two representatives from each SIAA member organisation – this could be staff\, trustees or other volunteers engaged in the organisations’ management. The conference is free to attend and a (nice) lunch will be provided. \nWe are very keen to ensure that every one of our 32 member organisations is present. If you foresee any barriers to participation\, please get in touch with us as soon as possible. We are fully committed to ensuring accessibility\, and will support representatives of your organisation to attend in any way we can. \nThis year\, the conference is co-organised and co-sponsored by Professor Mo Yan\, whose Carnegie Trust-funded research is already engaging with a few member organisations. Mo will share her preliminary findings during the conference\, offering insights into the sector’s current landscape and the role that relationships have in it. \nWe’re also excited to welcome Dr Will Shepherd\, whose PhD research focused on innovation in statutory advocacy sector. Will will lead an ideation workshop\, guiding us to collectively imagine new approaches. \nOur venue this year is Civic House\, a space operated by a community-oriented social enterprise. While it may be less formal than last year’s Trades Hall\, we believe its welcoming and relaxed atmosphere will be conducive to meaningful conversations and collaboration. \nTo attend\, please register via this form: https://airtable.com/appWjYIPGA2LZBZye/pag9I6OCi8RoHYCVZ/form  \nFor alternative ways to sign up\, please get in touch. \nWe can’t wait to connect with all of you!

SUMMARY:Defining Quality in Scottish Independent Advocacy: Report Launch
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to a lunchtime webinar to launch our latest research report: Defining Quality in Scottish Independent Advocacy. \nWe often talk about “quality” in independent advocacy – but what does that really mean? \nIn this lunchtime session\, we’ll present the findings of our newest research\, which aimed to explore and articulate what “quality” looks like in the context of independent advocacy in Scotland. The data was gathered during a workshop at the 2024 SIAA Conference and later analysed thematically. The resulting insights have been conceptualised as key “pillars” that form the foundation of quality in independent advocacy. \nThis webinar is open to all stakeholders in the independent advocacy sector: Advocacy Partners\, staff and trustees at SIAA member organisations\, commissioners\, policymakers\, and colleagues across the third sector. One of the key findings of the research (spoiler alert!) is that achieving and sustaining quality is a shared responsibility\, with each stakeholder playing a distinct and important role. We hope this session will help strengthen collaboration across the sector and support conversations with a shared understanding and language around quality in independent advocacy. \nThere will be opportunities to share feedback on the report and discuss potential next steps. \nFollowing the session\, we’ll share the full report along with an executive summary. \nTo attend\, register via Teams: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/0ecf6dce-1639-4e29-aed5-b7a2257e8a9d@612a10a7-495a-4536-ae3a-adb2b8051f65  \nAny questions about the session\, please reach out to events@siaa.org.uk. \n

SUMMARY:Peer support: Thinking about MY wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:This is the first session in our wellbeing-focused peer support series. In this session\, we will begin by thinking about our own individual wellbeing. \nThis is time out for people working in independent advocacy to have an opportunity to share their experience and learn some practical ways of supporting wellbeing at work. The session is open to everyone: individual and collective advocates\, administration & support staff\, managers\, chief executives\, volunteers\, and any other worker at SIAA member organisation. \nIf you’re reading this\, you’re invited! \nThe three wellbeing-focused sessions are intended as a ‘package’\, though you are welcome to attend any single one\, as each will be useful on its own.
