Self advocacy groups can help service providers to:

• Advise on the quality of services and make them better
   
• Inform service evaluation and reporting
   
• Empower people to express their individual needs and support self-determination
   
• Enable participatory decision making and choice within a service
   
• Build skills to deliver person-centred planning.

Training and capacity building is available through the Voice at the Table project!
