IDVA
IDVAs are trained specialists whose goal is the safety of domestic violence victims.
While IDVAs will accept all referrals, their focus is on providing a service to victims at medium to high risk of harm to address their safety needs and help manage the risks that they face. Their medium to high risk remit means that the majority (if not all) of their cases are women victims. IDVAs tend to come in at the point of crisis for a victim i.e. just after a police call out or Accident and Emergency attendance.
