There are three types of advocacy - self-advocacy, individual advocacy and systems advocacy.

The role of an advocate is to offer independent support to those who feel they are not being heard and to ensure they are taken seriously and that their rights are respected. ... An advocate does not represent their own views but amplifies that of the person they are supporting.
