Signposting
Signposting is a significant part of the work of Sharing Voices. The staff team receives queries from a number of sources these include individuals, families, professionals from the statutory and non mental health voluntary sector who are looking or community activities and support for themselves, family member or clients within the community. Sharing voices also receives request of support from other PCTS and from outside the Bradford district and are happy to be of assistance where ever it is practical to do so.
In situations where other expertise will be more beneficial Sharing Voices Bradford will signpost people onto relevant agencies to get appropriate support and assistance. This could be for example issues around benefits, housing, council tax etc. SVB also supports people to access services and also advocates on behalf of people.
