CSN has the following services, funded by NHS Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and NHS England Clinical Commissioning Group. We take referrals from service users, carers, and professionals. Where carers and professionals make referrals we would ask that you first check with the service user(s) if they are happy for you to be making the referral to our advocacy service(s).

In-Patient Advocacy:
This is provided on Luther King, LEO (Lambeth Early Onset Unit), Rosa Parks Ward, Nelson, Tony Hillis Unit & Eden Wards at Lambeth Hospital, Greenvale Specialist Care Unit (older adults), Ward AL1 (Maudsley Hospital) and Chelsham House (Bethlem Royal Hospital).
Contact: E-mail Georgia Rapsomatioti, Susanna Farley, Alexander Ross & Jake Gibilaro; or call on +44(0) 20 7274 4490.

Forensic Advocacy:
(Forensic: is for people with mental health problems who have also committed a criminal offence, which may have been connected to their mental health problems. Alternatively, they may have developed mental health problems following imprisonment). This is provided at River House Medium Secure Unit, on Chaffinch Ward at Monks Orchard House at Bethlem Royal Hospital in Beckenham in Kent, at Spring Ward and Ward in the Community (at Lambeth Hospital), for community forensic clients and at HMP Wandsworth.
Contact: E-mail Georgia Rapsomatioti, Gary Bailey and Cherry Pedler; or call on +44(0) 20 7274 4490.

Community Advocacy: 
This is provided to people who have recently been discharged from section of the Mental Health Act 1983, as amended 2007. Our priorities are people who are detained in the community on Community Treatment Orders, also known as Supervised Community Treatment. All our advocacy services prioritise women, people who are new to advocacy or new to mental health services, those for whom English is not their first language and others with communication difficulties. We work primarily around your care and treatment and rights under the Mental Health Act so if your issues are not these, it is likely we will refer on to other services, for example specialist legal, benefits and housing advice services. Our community advocacy services are only available to Lambeth residents.
Contact: E-mail Alexander Ross & Gary Bailey; or call on +44(0) 20 7274 4490.

Care Act Advocacy: 
This is provided to Lambeth residents whose primary need is mental health. We can provide advocacy to assist with the process of FACE & OT (Occupational Therapy) assessments and with Safeguarding Concerns. If your primary need is physical or sensory disability, we may refer you instead to DASL who specialise in those types of disability. As with all our services, you can self-refer or be referred by a carer or health or social care professional. Contact: E-mail Gary Bailey; or call on +44(0) 20 7274 4490.
