Plain English definition

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

A volunteer from your local community who can work with you if you are isolated and need some help with making your needs and wishes known and with taking up opportunities. The advocate can help you get what you are entitled to, find out what your options are, make choices and take part in activities. You can find out if citizen advocates are available in your area through local charities or support groups.
