1 Cheshire Advocacy Service Independent Advocacy Care Act 2014 Referral Information and Form The Care Act 2014 was introduced to promote the wellbeing of individuals and their carers to help them achieve the outcomes that matter to them in their everyday lives. The key principle of WELLBEING applies in all cases where the Local Authority is carrying out a care and support function or making a decision in relation to a person with care and support needs or their carer. Under the Care Act 2014 the Local Authority HAS A DUTY to provide independent advocacy to adults who need care and support and carers of adults (including young carers). Not everyone is entitled to an independent advocate. Two conditions must be met: 1. The person has substantial difficulty being fully involved within assessment, care and support planning and review and safeguarding AND 2. There is no one appropriate and available to support and represent their wishes Substantial difficulty (only one need apply) Understanding relevant information Retaining information Using/weighing up the information (as part of being involved in the key process) Communicating their own wishes, views and feelings Appropriate to support: Consents to providing support Person requiring support consents to that person supporting them Inappropriate to support: Appropriate person declines the role Person requiring support refuses the support of the person Potential appropriate person has their own strong views on care and support required that may differ from the person requiring the care and support. Is or may be involved in abusing the person requiring support
2 The Local Authority MUST arrange independent advocacy even if the person has appropriate support when: The exercising of the care assessment /planning function might result in a placement in either NHS funded provision in hospital for 4 weeks or more OR a care home for 8 weeks or more AND the Local Authority believes that it would be in the individual s best interests to appoint an advocate. There is disagreement relating to the individual between the Local Authority and appropriate person AND both agree that it would be in the individual s best interests to appoint an advocate. An individual makes an appeal against the Local Authority decision. The Advocates involvement can be in one or more of the following key areas: Assessment Process (eligibility) Care and Support Planning Support person to write plans themselves Represent the person (with capacity) Represent the person (without capacity) Review Process Initial review (at 6-8weeks) Subsequent review (no later than 12mths after assessment) Safeguarding Enquiries/ Reviews. Appeals process (NB - still under consultation) The Advocate s role is to: Help the individual understand the process and their rights Communicate individuals views, wishes and feelings Help the individual make decisions in the course of being involved in care and support arrangements Challenge decisions made by the Local Authority if the individual wishes Provide the individual with support and represent them in safeguarding Please also note: Where an independent advocate is provided the Local Authority must still consult with family and friends when the individual asks them to. Individuals statutory right to /professionals duty to refer for an Independent Mental Capacity Advocate (IMCA) OR Independent Mental Health Advocate (IMHA) are not affected by the new duties under the care Act 2014.
