Purpose: This paper provides a commentary on the article 'Changing organisational culture: another role for self-advocacy' by Robin Miller. Design/methodology/approach: The paper suggests that self-advocacy has the potential to be a significant influence on organisational culture, but questions whether self-advocacy's current funding regime and limited focus on outcomes makes this possible. Research limitations/implications: This issue is identified as one where further research would be beneficial. Practical implications: If organisations are to use self-advocacy as a route of cultural change, it is suggested that attention will need to be given to issues of independent funding, management change objectives and whole system change. Originality/value: If evidence were generated to support the belief that self-advocacy can impact on organisational culture, the consequences for how society and services behave towards people with learning disabilities could be significant.
