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.
