Self-Advocacy and the "Know Your Rights" Training

Self-advocacy means speaking up for yourself so your needs are understood and respected. It helps you take control of your life, especially in areas like health care, housing, and social care. The UK's Advocacy Charter says everyone has the right to be listened to, involved in decisions, and treated with equality and respect.
