The Fife Advocacy Forum supports the development of advocacy across Fife and represents the views of local advocacy providers.
To help meet the needs of different people at different times in their life there are several different types of advocacy. We are really pleased that such a range of types of advocacy are supported by Fife Council and NHS Fife and are available to people in Fife.
Our website explains the range of advocacy available to people in Fife and provides details about the organisations that provide these services and how to contact them.
Adults (16+) and older people in Fife can access advocacy if they are affected by:
Disability
Chronic illness
Mental illness
Dementia
Learning disability
Personality disorder
and need help to safeguard their
well-being

or other interests
Children in Fife under the age of 18 can access advocacy if:
They are looked after by Fife Council (at home, in Foster Care, Kinship Care or Residential Care)
There are Child Protection procedures in place (aged 5-18)
They have a mental health issue and/or a learning disability
