Hospital ISVA Service

Today, we’re launching the UK’s first ever LGBT+ Rape and Sexual Abuse Helpline. Everyone should have somewhere they can turn to for support, without worry or fear. Call 0800 999 5428 or email help@galop.org.uk to get in touch.

We are with you @BlackpoolHosp #HISVA

Next week is #itsnotok week. We will be out in the hospital spreading awareness of the support available for survivors #hospitalisvas #safeguarding

I am with the IDVA at the staff experience hub promoting White Ribbon Day and 16 days of actions

An Interesting watch if you have ever wondered what happens when you report a sexual offence to the Police. One of our ISVA's joins Hertfordshire Police and Tattooists Sexual Assault Support (TSASS). youtube.com/watch?v=LH7WhC… @WHTSafeguarding @ENHSafeguarding

Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs) are what sustain victims of rape and sexual assault through the courts and beyond. My 2020 Rape Survey found that victims highly valued their support - leading to better justice outcomes overall #BBCPanorama victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/survey-fi…

We continue to drive the agenda for change @VictimsComm plus the invaluable support an ISVA can bring @LimeCulture @BlackpoolHosp @LancsVS @LancsVRN @Hospitalisvas @LancsPCC

More than 1 in 5 women have experienced rape or sexual assault. We stand by you this International Women's Day and we are here for you. #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias @enherts @HYWNHS @WestHertsNHS @WHTSafeguarding @ENHSafeguarding

If you have been sexually assaulted and are unsure where and how to access help, @Herts_SARC can help. Please watch this video youtube.com/watch?v=GuYtoV…

There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to surviving post sexual abuse, your ISVA will tailor support to what you need. #ITSNOTOK #SexualViolence @enherts @WestHertsNHS @WHTSafeguarding @ENHSafeguarding

An ISVA is independent and non-judgmental, they are here to support you following sexual abuse. #ITSNOTOK #SexualViolence @enherts @WestHertsNHS @WHTSafeguarding @ENHSafeguarding
