Advocacy Support

The MBMLW Advocacy service is shaped by trauma-informed practise which puts clients at the centre of all that we do. We offer specialist support across all 6 centres in Belfast Nevara, Armagh, Omagh, Derry/Londonderry, Ballymoney and Killough.

Our Advocacy service works alongside a team of dedicated Health and Well-Being caseworkers to provide holistic wrap-around services as well as working in partnership with Adopt NI who specialise in family tracing, DNA, intermediatory work and record retrieval.

 

 

Our Advocacy Services include:
  • Giving survivors a voice.
  • Providing advice and guidance throughout the redress process.
  • Assisting individuals to complete redress applications and gathering relevant documentation for application submission.
  • Access to records (Statutory Adoption Files,  private institutional records, court files and ‘in care’ or  social service files).
  • Provide accurate information so that survivors can make properly-informed decisions.
  • Work alongside local and regional community groups.
  • Liaison and attend consultation events with external stakeholders and the Executive Office.
