The Devon Advocacy Service provides an independent advocacy service commissioned by Torbay for anyone who would experience substantial difficulty in participating in their assessment, preparation of their care and support plan and review (eg. due to difficulties with communication, including Deaf people with British Sign Language) and where there is no one available to support and represent their wishes.

NB. This service is available via referral only.

The Devon Advocacy Consortium also provides the following advocacy services for people in the Torbay area, available via referral only:

1. Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA)
2. Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA)
