NHS & Social Care Complaints Advocacy
Writing a complaint can be difficult and for some, it may seem impossible to know where to start. If you need help writing your complaint, or have made your complaint but feel unable to effectively speak for yourself in a local resolution meeting, you can get in touch with POhWER. Having the help of an advocate who is experienced in these matters can be a big help.
You can access the POhWER advocacy service by getting in touch with Hertshelp.
