This piece of work was initiated and funded by Skills for Care NE. In January 09 it was agreed that Durham Employers’ Care and Health Alliance would facilitate three sessions with local advocacy services in Durham, and regionally where possible, to assess the impact on these services of the introduction of the personalisation agenda.
Three facilitated sessions where held on:
• 5th February 2009 Durham Cricket Club, Chester-le-Street
• 12th March 2009 Lumley Castle, Chester-le-Street
• 22nd April 2009 Lumley Castle, Chester-le-Street
Although these meetings were held in Durham they were open to all regional advocacy services to attend.
The outcome of the open discussions at these meetings was the production of the document Advocacy Briefing Paper
