Have you, a family member or someone you care for been involved in Adult Support and Protection in East Ayrshire?
East Ayrshire Advocacy Services are starting a new group to find out people’s views about Adult Support and Protection and want to hear from you. You may be aware of these processes in relation to possible harm caused to you, or someone you have a relationship with. It is important that your experience and views of the process are taken seriously and by sharing them it can help improve how things are done in the future.
We do not want to know about the reasons why you were involved in Adult Support and Protection – we are only interested in how to make things better for people in the future. This might include things like providing information to explain what is happening, or making sure you have an Advocacy Worker with you in meetings.
We think it is important that the people who have been involved in Adult Support and Protection are at the heart of discussions and decisions about improvements. By getting together to raise issues and try to change things, the group can have a stronger, louder voice than one person in taking forward shared issues.
To join the group or to find out more about it, contact Maggie Smith on 01563 574442 or email asp@eaas.org.uk
If you have experience of Adult Support & Protection – whether your own or a family member or someone you care for – and would rather speak to someone individually, you can also refer yourself to our Lived Experience Project and someone will contact you to find out more.
