- What is independent advocacy? – as well as showcasing the foundational document for independent advocacy in Scotland, ‘Independent Advocacy Principles, Standards and Code of Best Practice’, this page explains key facts about independent advocacy in the Scottish context and provide case studies to illustrate what independent advocacy looks like in practice
- Information hub – the hub contains SIAA’s publications, including independent advocacy guidance, research reports, and policy briefings
- Independent advocacy and human rights – explains how independent advocacy fits within human rights and why independent advocates are ‘human rights defenders’
- Our work – gives an overview of SIAA as the national intermediary for independent advocacy in Scotland, explaining how SIAA ‘advocates for independent advocacy’
