Part 2: Victims of Major Incidents Guidance for advocates Section 44: Guidance for advocates
This section provides for the Secretary of State to issue guidance to advocates appointed in respect of a major incident, which an advocate must have regard to when exercising their functions.
	Subsection (2) makes clear that the guidance cannot be directed at any specific advocate or related to a specific major incident. In practice, this guidance must be general and could include considerations around identifying victims and proportionality in supporting multiple close family members of the deceased.
