Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA)
Our Independent Sexual Violence Advisor service provides practical and emotional support for
survivors. This service aims to empower survivors of rape and sexual assault to make their own
informed decisions based on the options available to them. We provide advice and guidance where
needed and signpost to other services for specialised support. The process is driven by the individual
survivor’s wants and needs.
We can help victim-survivors to understand how the criminal justice process works, and explain
things such as what will happen if they report to the police. ISVAs are there to provide clients with
the information they need to make the right decision for them. They do not pressure clients into
reporting any offence to the police.
Who is it for:
Survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Any adults over the age of 18 who are from the Tamil speaking community
