TotalVoice can help Do you know where to turn for help if you struggle to be heard and want support to understand your rights and make decisions about health and social care? It can be very daunting understanding the legal and statutory procedures involved with social care, but advocacy support for family carers in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is available from TotalVoice. The service is free, independent and confidential. An Advocate is a person who puts a case on someone else's behalf. Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council have brought together advocacy services for adults, carers, children and young people into one single service. TotalVoice Cambridgeshire and Peterborough (TVCP) is delivered by specialist advocacy providers VoiceAbility, Cambridgeshire Deaf Association and National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS), to provide statutory and community advocacy services. Family carers have rights that are engrained in The Care Act 2014 to protect their own health and wellbeing, putting their needs on the same level as the cared-for person. TotalVoice will: • Support you to be heard • Help you understand your rights, choices and options • Enable you to make your own decisions about health and social care • Get support from the people around you in your community • Give the people around you the skills to support you • Give you the tools to do as much as you can for yourself. Dedicated TVCP helpline: 0300 222 5704.
