Oxfordshire Advocacy History of Advocacy in Oxfordshire

In 1989 almost 100 local delegates from varied agencies and professional backgrounds attended a conference in Oxford called ‘A Voice for the Voiceless’. It was a response to a growing concern amongst health and social care professionals that the voices of people using their services were not being heard or taken into account. This was despite recent government directives about working in partnersh

ip with service users (including the need for independent advocacy) which was eventually enshrined in the National Health and Community Care Act 1990. As a result of the conference, Oxfordshire Advocacy Development Group (OADG) was formed to promote awareness of advocacy and to encourage the development of independent advocacy schemes.
