This review sets out to investigate the nature and extent of evidence relating to independent advocacy for disabled people at risk of losing choice and control in four specific situations: during transition to adulthood; when the children of disabled parents are subject to safeguarding procedures; when entry to residential care is a possibility; when disabled people are victims or alleged perpetrators of anti-social behaviour. In doing so, it describes and evaluates evidence about the need, costs and benefits associated with independent advocacy.
