This second book in a four-volume training set gives people with disabilities and their advocacy partners backgrounds in the standard and accepted ethical practices of advocacy. Building from the information about types of disability advocacy in the first book, this covers the reasons why proper advocacy considers rules and standards, acceptable practices in confidentiality, duty of care and risk assessment and positive risk management. It concentrates on complex or delicate situations in which a person practicing self-advocacy or an advocate partner is faced with issues of disclosure (for example, when revealing a need may result in harm to the person with the need) or when making an issue public may result in more harm than good. whether short-term or long-term'.
