If you have a guardian you still have the right to be part of decisions.
A guardian is someone who makes some decisions for you.
Your guardian should talk to you about
- what you want
- what is important to you
Your guardian should help you live a good life.
Your guardian might sometimes make decisions you are not happy with.
They may do this to keep you healthy and safe.
You can get help if you are not happy about
- what your guardian is doing
- what your guardian has decided
You can get help from an advocate.
An advocate is a person who helps you to speak up for your rights.
They cannot make decisions for you.
They are on your side.
An advocate might be
- a friend
- family
- support worker
If you do not have an advocate there are services that can help you.
