Route 1 Advocacy
The service provides advice and support to children and young people in Somerset. Children in care can request an advocate if they are worried or upset about something. Young people who would like to request advocacy are encouraged to make contact by email. Route 1 Advocacy can also provide independent visitors for young people in the care of the local authority.
There are volunteering opportunities to become an advocate or an independent visitor, and further information is available on the website below.
