I really enjoy being a citizen advocate and find it very stimulating and rewarding. (Williams, 1998, p 30) Clearly, both the advocate and partner in this vignette benefit from this relationship. On the one hand, the partner gains a confidante and representative who is prepared to take positive action to further his wishes and concerns, and on the other the advocate feels able to make a difference in the life of another citizen. While it is unhelpful to generalise on the possible motivation of people who act as advocates voluntarily, the desire to give back to the community is clearly an important driving force.
I arranged an appointment with a local bank, and went with my partner to open a savings account where he could pay in his money. 30 Issues in contemporary advocacy All this was done under the wishes of my partner, who agreed it was a good idea. As my partner became anxious when attending appointments, I attended two doctor’s appointments with him at his local GP surgery. There was a Care Plan meeting at a local hospital along with a review for my partner, and the social worker invited us both along, which I thought was very good of them.
Local advocacy initiatives have developed largely autonomously with their own identities, procedures and monitoring arrangements. While this has undoubtedly led to more localised and informal arrangements for users, the problem of how best to promote and monitor effectiveness remains. In the absence of agreed standards the monitoring agenda has increasingly been set by funding agencies, who often have little knowledge or regard for the particular aims and methods of advocacy schemes. The tendency to fall back on tried and tested quantitative measures means that the intrinsic value of advocacy – the stories of advocates and partners, the quest for social change and justice – often goes unmeasured and hence unrecognised.
