The Survivors Trust has a long history of developing and delivering person-centred training to the sexual violence sector and beyond. We are one of only a few organisations in the UK that provides an accredited diploma qualification for Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVAs), both for the practitioners themselves and for managers that run an ISVA service. The Survivors Trust contributed to the development of National Occupational Standards for the ISVA role in 2015 and have trained around 400 individuals since 2010. 

The Survivors Trust is an accredited training centre with the Open College Network West Midlands. You will gain an accredited qualification once you have completed our ISVA Practitioner or ISVA Service Manager programmes.
