Advocacy (ISVA Service)

Our Independent Sexual Violence Advocates (ISVAs) provide emotional and practical support, and information, to victims and survivors of both recent, and non-recent sexual violence who have reported to the police, or are considering reporting to the police. If you have reported to the police, our qualified ISVAs can support you through every stage of the criminal justice process. Our ISVAs work with women and girls aged 13 and over who live in Leeds. More about SARSVL Advocacy Service here.
