Gloucestershire Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) Sevice

The Gloucestershire ISVA Service is delivered in partnership by First Light and Barnardo’s. Together, we provide specialist support for anyone impacted by sexual abuse, or sexual violence. We will listen. We will believe you. And we will support you in a way that feels right for you. If you have experienced sexual abuse, rape or sexual violence, recently or in the past, our Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) Service is here to support you. This confidential and independent service is open to adults, children and young people of all genders and backgrounds across Gloucestershire. We understand that taking the first step can be difficult. Whether you’ve already reported the incident to the police, are thinking about it, or don’t want to involve them at all – we are here for you.

More information on the ISVA service is available via the leaflet here
