Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVA)

Many specialist support agencies offer an Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) service to victims/survivors of rape and sexual assault. The Independent Sexual Violence Adviser role was commissioned by Baroness Stern through the Home Office Violent Crime Unit in 2005. 

This Home Office guidance, created in partnership with The Survivors Trust and other specialist sexual violence and abuse sector organisations, sets out the core principles of an ISVA, which are to:

  • tailor support to the individual needs of the victim or survivor
  • provide accurate and impartial information to victims and survivors of sexual violence
  • provide emotional and practical support to meet the needs of the victim or survivor
  • provide support before, during and after court
  • act as a single point of contact
  • ensure the safety of victims and survivors and their dependants
  • provide a professional service

An ISVA is trained to look after your needs, and to ensure that you receive care and understanding. They will help you understand how the criminal justice process works, and will explain things to you, such as what will happen if you report to the police, and the importance and process of forensic DNA retrieval.

An ISVA is there to provide you with information only so that you can make the right decision for you. By contacting them, you are not expected to report any offence to the police. 

Whilst every effort is made to keep this section up to date, changes can happen that we may be unaware of. Please let us know if edits need to be made, links are no longer working or out-of-date information is displayed. Please email [email protected]

    My name is Matin Miryeganeh. I was born and raised in Iran and lived there until the age of 26. I then got a PhD scholarship in Japan and have been living in Japan ever since. I am now a successful researcher and am not scared to share my stories any more.
