Statement in response to new guidance on Idvas and Isvas Our response to the MoJ guidance on Idvas and Isvas: welcoming progress on independence and transparency, but urging action on training and caseload standards.

New guidance from the MoJ on Idvas and Isvas is welcome — but more is needed.

These roles are a lifeline for survivors.

SafeLives will keep pushing for independent, expert, survivor-centred support — and a system that listens.

SafeLives 16 Days Post with text that reads "an Isva is a specialist advocacy professional who works with victims/survivors of sexual abuse to provide independent emotional and practical advice and support".

With 1 in 4 women having experienced rape or sexual assault since the age of 16, Isvas play a crucial role in supporting victims/survivors.
