Solihull Action through Advocacy provides advocacy support for young people, in Solihull, who have a learning disability and/or autism. During this difficult time, the organisation is still able to provide support and is dedicated to ensuring that young people are heard and supported.
The team can support young people in many areas of their lives including transitions (in education, health and care) and in accessing the support they are entitled to. Advocates will listen to the young person, help them get the information they need, support them in decision-making, ensure they are heard and speak on their behalf if they want them to. They will not make decisions for any young person or tell them what they should do.
Many young people with learning difficulties and autism are finding the current situation very difficult and we are still here to help.

Currently there is a multi-agency group working on how we support children and young people and their families with bereavement. Below is information for schools and settings from Marie Curie regarding additional support that is currently available from Birmingham and Solihull Bereavement Service. Please share this widely.
The NHS in Birmingham and Solihull is offering confidential bereavement support to help children, young people and families who may be grieving the death of a friend or loved one.
At the moment, many people are cut off from their usual support networks; so if you know of a child or someone who needs support, please encourage them to get the help they need. Our local bereavement experts are available to offer support due to all types of loss and to people of all ages.
Please call 0121 687 8010 for support.
Assistance can also be accessed through support@crusebirmingham.co.uk.
For more information, please contact
Lesley Atter lesley.atter@solihull.gov.uk.
