The Survivors Trust National ISVA Seminar
Independent Sexual Violence Advisers: Is practice matching expectations?
Feedback from National Seminar, 30th June 2008
The Survivors Trust facilitated a National Seminar in London on 30th June 2008, giving Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVAs) and Advocacy Workers a valuable opportunity to meet and share experiences of their roles.
The feedback and discussions during the day have produced a Report full of excellent information and comment, which has now been presented to the National Stakeholder Advisory Group on Sexual Violence and Abuse. The Stakeholder Advisory Group is Chaired by Vernon Coaker, Under-secretary of State for Victims and Ann Keen, Under-secretary of State for Health. The Group is also attended by all key stakeholders working with sexual violence and abuse issues.
