We are pleased to announce the launch of our Online ISVA Advisory Service.

TST wants to ensure that all survivors of sexual violence and abuse without access to ISVA support benefit from access to specialist knowledge and guidance around their options and rights by qualified ISVA practitioners.

The service can provide advice, guidance and information from qualified ISVA practitioners to support a survivor in accessing the relevant support and service/s available to help develop and facilitate their onward care plan and manage risks. An ISVA is trained to look after your needs, and to ensure that you receive care and understanding. They will help you understand how the criminal justice process works, and will explain things to you, such as what will happen if you report to the police.  An ISVA is there to provide you with information only so that you can make the right decision for you. By contacting them, you are not expected to report any offence to the police.

We want to enhance ISVA services providing a temporary stop gap for under-resourced ISVA service provision together with collating data to evidence the need for increased sustainable funding for ISVA services nationwide.

To check the eligibility criteria and to self-refer into the service please email for more details: isva.advisory@thesurvivorstrust.org
