Making decisions - Who can help?

Boy

Lots of people want to help you. They can help you to think about your choices. They could also help you to tell people what you want.

It is their job to help you plan for your future and listen to your problems.

Your Key Worker

You may have a Key Worker if you live in residential care or visit a respite service.

Your Social Worker
The job of a social worker is to get any extra help you need.

An Advocate can:

  • help you say what you want

  • make plans

  • tell other people what you have chosen to do.

A Circle of Support
Instead of having one Advocate, some people have a Circle of Support. This is a group of people who know you well. It may be a group of friends or family or other people.
