Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA)
Our ISVAs offer practical and emotional support for survivors who are considering
reporting an experience of sexual violence, or who have already reported to the police. They can
offer support with the reporting process, accompanying to meetings, and advocate on a survivor's
behalf with the police and other agencies. We can also sometimes provide practical support with
other issues related to the sexual violence you have experienced - e.g. housing, employment etc.
