Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy (ISVA) Service
Support for people with a learning disability, autism or both who are victims of sexual abuse.
We offer advice and advocacy to victims who have reported an incident of sexual violence to the police. Advice is also available to young people and adults with a learning disability, autism or both who are thinking of reporting an incident to the police but would like to know more about the criminal justice system and what happens when a report is made.
We can talk to the police on your behalf and we offer a trauma informed approach in all the work we do. This means we can meet you to talk about what you might need, how you are coping with what has happened and the support you would like from us.
