I need help to tell you my side of the discussion.

When a decision is being made about you, you may not feel that your side of the discussion is being put across.  An advocate is someone who can speak up for you.  For more information see Gloucestershire County Council’s web page about Advocacy Schemes.

Children and Families
Gloucestershire County Council can help you understand the care, education and support available to children and their families.

Village and Community Agents
Village Agents provide support to the over 50's in rural areas. Community Agents provide support to black and minority ethnicity groups.

What am I entitled to?
