Our ISVAs offer independent, non-judgmental emotional and practical support and advocacy to anyone aged 11 and over (including parents and carers) who has experienced historical or recent sexual abuse, sexual assault, or rape.  We also support parents and carers through the criminal justice system for children under the age of 11.
