Report and support options for sexual assault, harassment, bullying, hate crime and hate incidents
Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs) are trained to provide emotional and practical support to survivors of rape, sexual abuse and sexual assault who have reported to the police or are thinking about reporting to the police.
An ISVA will provide you with information to ensure you make the right decision for you with respect to accessing support and reporting to the police. An ISVA 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. They will help ensure you receive care and understanding.
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 to the police. It’s your choice whether or not to report to the police.
