Abstract

The overall aim of the work is to assess how Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) services have been implemented in various settings and the perceived impact they have had with regard to providing support to victims of sexual violence. ISVAs are usually based in Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) or in voluntary projects. SARCs involve a partnership approach between the police, health services, and good liaison with other statutory and voluntary agencies. In contrast, sexual violence projects located in the voluntary sector are not formally affiliated with police or other statutory services (although they may work in partnership with such agencies). They are community-based, voluntary charitable organizations that have historically offered women-only services (see Appendices A and B for more detail about SARCs and voluntary projects).
