  2. Our Accredited ISVA Training

Accredited Training

Due to the developing situation regarding COVID-19 and the Government’s guidance, we are continuing to deliver training online where appropriate. 

Please email [email protected] for more information.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

The Survivors Trust has a long history of developing and delivering person-centred training both in 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 200 individuals since then. 

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