Face-to-face advocacy and Independent Visitors
Our advocates and Independent Visitors are continuing to meet with children and young people.
Often this will be virtually using Zoom, phone calls, WhatsApp etc. However, we are continuing to hold face to face meetings where we can.
If you would like to see your advocate or IV face to face then please just ask.

Getting involved
We continue to use social media for news, stories, discussion, information and updates. We have also recently launched an Instagram page where we have introduced all our new local A National Voice Ambassadors.
We love to hear from you so please do get involved.
