Oxfordshire Advocacy

Oxfordshire Advocacy (previously known as OADG) is a registered charity dedicated to providing advocacy throughout Oxfordshire. It is an independent service, giving confidential support and aid to ensure a person’s voice is heard in events that affect their life.

A combination of trained volunteers and  co-ordinating staff provide this service to those who need it; because of Dementia, Learning difficulties, or because an event is overwhelming in their current situation.

OA also provides Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA). This is a service under the Mental Capacity Act (2005) whereby someone, who is unable to make a decision for themself and has no family whom it is appropriate to consult, is supported by an IMCA to be at the centre of the decision being made.

OA has its own training group, providing accredited training to volunteers. More details here.

Here are some example case studies of the work we do.
