I am really pleased to share details for the upcoming commissioning of the ISVA / IDVA Training and Infrastructure Support Grant.
The Government has committed to increase the number of ISVAs and IDVAs it funds by 300, to over 1,000, by 2024/25 - a 43% increase on the number of ISVAs and IDVAs over this spending review period (2022/23 to 2024/25 inclusive).
An IDVA or ISVA is an independent advisor, who works with people (whether adults or children) who have experienced domestic abuse (in the case of an IDVA) or rape and sexual assault (in the case of an ISVA) by providing them with independent advocacy, support, and advice.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) funds ISVAs and IDVAs through Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) and additional advisers are funded locally through local authorities and independent organisations.
The fund will be open to providers offering SV and DA support across England and Wales. Bids may be submitted by individual providers, consortia or partnerships, and joint bids are encouraged. The purpose of this fund is to provide relevant training and infrastructure support to ISVAs and IDVAs. This includes advisors who are not funded directly by the MoJ. Infrastructure support includes providing training for ISVA / IDVA service managers, to ensure that there is effective supervision support for frontline practitioners.
